<p>“The perfect book for anyone who has ever built an entire fantasy life around a man who barely knows your last name and who makes you ask, ‘Is this love, or am I just deeply unwell?’ It’s funny, cringey, painfully real yet still tender about the humiliations we endure to feel chosen."<br><b>— Samantha Irby</b></p><p><b>For fans of Asako Yuzuki and <i>Fleabag</i>, an audacious, unhinged debut following the major humiliations and minor triumphs of an overworked, undersexed young woman in Tokyo who must save herself from the hazards of her own lust, obsession, and delusion. </b></p><p>limerence. [li-mer-uhns] noun</p><p><i>the state of being obsessively infatuated with someone, usually accompanied by delusions of or a desire for an intense romantic relationship with that person</i>; <i>e.g., her limerence lasted for around three months before she actually met him</i></p><p>Mika is about to turn 25, and all she has to show for it is a soul-sucking office job and a terminal case of virginity. Between unwanted advances from co-workers and subway commuters, and love-bombing from unappealing fuckboys, Mika’s ready to explode. Her only therapeutic outlet is her imagination, which manifests in a series of comically violent and horny fantasies.</p><p>Determined to change her fate, and with the encouragement of Nana, her certified “Hot Girl” best friend, Mika loses half of her virginity to Tyler, a Japanese-American boy with an allergy to commitment. The other half is taken by a man with a drawer full of red flags, all while Mika indulges in fantasies of women much to her titillation and confusion.</p><p>Caught in a love(less) triangle, Mika also must weather a mysterious outbreak spurred by the unhygienic bathroom practices of white male westerners. Will she emerge from quarantine a new woman? Or, spurred by a reunion with an estranged friend, can she shift her life in a new direction? Could this be yet again limerence, or might it be the beginning of something a bit less o
