Chuck Palahniuk

Love, betrayal, petty larceny, and high fashion fuel this deliciously comic novel from the author of Fight Club. She's a fashion model who has everything: a boyfriend, a career, a loyal best friend. But when a sudden freeway "accident" leaves her disfigured and incapable of speech, she goes from being the beautiful center of attention to being an invisible monster, so hideous that no one will acknowledge that she exists. Enter Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, one operation away from becoming a real woman, who will teach her that reinventing yourself means erasing your past and making up something better. And that salvation hides in the last places you'll ever want to look.

"Hilarious, rowdy, gritty, beautiful, brutal. One of Palabniuk’s best. If you’re not familiar with his writing, he loves to shine a light on the F’d up aspects of our society. He does it in a bold and humorous way, lots of sarcasm, irony and ridiculousness. "

"My dad recommended me this book and I'm loving it so far! Just started it 😵‍💫 "

"My favorite of Palaniuk’s work — and definitely on the short list of my favorite books of all-time. // “Give me lust, baby. Flash. Give me malice. Flash. Give me detached existentialist ennui. Flash. Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism. Flash.” // Brandy Alexander will forever be the Queen Supreme! "

"Right now I'm reading The Lost Apothecary. I've been excited to read it. I started the 2nd book in the practical magic series and it was good but I stopped to read TLA. I skipped the first (practical magic) because the reviews were awful "

"The last book I read and really enjoyed was No longer Human by Osamu Dazai ( the Junji Ito version is nice too) The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton is also a good read 👍🏻"
