Rejection opens Goodreads in a new tab

An electrifying novel-in-stories that follows a cast of intricately linked characters as their lives and relationships transform in the wake of rejection. Seven connected stories move between the personal crises of a complex ensemble and the comic tragedies of sex, relationships, identity, and the internet. Misfits rejected by individuals and by society turn increasingly inward after failing at romance and at their careers. A provocative plunge into the touchiest problems of modern life, from the author of Private Citizens.
