Publisher's summary

A Clockwork Orange and RuPaul's Drag Race meet Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in this fabulous dystopian fable about fashion, family and feckless billionaires.

Simone is one of the Glitterati, the elite living lives of luxury and leisure. Slave to the ever-changing tides—and brutal judgements—of fashion, he is immaculate. To be anything else is to be unfashionable, and no one wants to be unfashionable, or even worse, ugly…

When Simone accidentally starts a new fashion with a nosebleed at a party, another Glitterati takes the credit. Soon their rivalry threatens to raze their opulent utopia to the ground, as no one knows how to be vicious like the beautiful ones.

Enter a world of the most fantastic costumes, grand palaces in the sky, the grandest parties known to mankind and the unbreakable rules of how to eat ice cream. A fabulous dystopian fable about fashion, family and the feckless billionaire class.

Absurdly funny

50% fashion, 40% dystopia, 10% scifi. 100% hilarious and heartfelt throughout. My favorite book of the past year

Funny, absurd, and satisfying

The story is absurd. I thought at first that it would be TOO ridiculous to get into. It certain seems like a world gone mad.

The third act pulls it all together, though. The story is still crazy, but it isn't SILLY. It has some weight.

Definitely an interesting ride.

Hidden Gem! I've never laughed so much at a book.

I am so bummed out that this doesn't have more reviews!! This is in my top 10 reads of all time. This book is totally absurd, hysterical, insane, heart-warming and just so many things. I honestly cannot believe someone was able to come up with such a unique story. This is probably my favorite audiobook out of every single one i've purchased on audible. There are some books that I've bought where there is zero re-readable quality, but that's not the case here. This book just gets funnier and funnier every single time I listen to it.

Thank you, Oliver for writing this masterpiece. Reading this immediately boosts my serotonin by approximately 47%.
