Book description
Honestly, I just finished Tony Tulathimutte's Rejection as an audiobook, and wow-this thing is a total vibe. Like, I was supposed to be folding laundry but ended up just sitting in my car listening to the next story because I couldn't stop. It's a novel-in-stories, but the way the audiobook pulls you through these interconnected lives? Chef's kiss. You feel every awkward swipe on dating apps, every cringe-worthy bar encounter, every moment where someone realizes they've been chasing ghosts online.
The narrator? Perfect. Sharp, funny, but with this undercurrent of ouch when things go sideways. Like in "The Feminist," where this guy's been all-in on allyship for thirty years and finally gets it: it's not getting him laid. The way the narrator delivers that realization? You feel the slow burn of that moment. And "Pics"? Oh man, that story about the unrequited crush spiraling into full-blown self-destruction? The audiobook makes the panic feel real, like you're right there in that headspace, heart pounding. You know the vibe-scrolling too long, overthinking every text, losing yourself in the process. It's painfully relatable.
What I love most is how the audiobook turns these "comic tragedies" into something you can't unhear. The stories bounce between characters on dating apps, in bars, texting-like you're eavesdropping on the chaos of modern connection. Tulathimutte's writing is razor-sharp on how the internet warps desire, and the audio makes those observations land with this perfect mix of humor and heartbreak. You'll laugh out loud at the absurdity (seriously, the "ahegao" story? I snorted), then get hit with this quiet, "oh shit, that's me" moment.
It's not just about romantic rejection-it's about the quiet, daily rejections of being seen, being enough, being known. And the audiobook? It's like having a friend whisper all these truths in your ear while you're just trying to figure out how to not feel so alone in the digital mess. The pacing is perfect for listening-each story's a little bite, but they all connect like puzzle pieces. You'll find yourself thinking, "Wait, that character from the last story was in that bar?" and hitting replay to catch the details.
Honestly, if you've ever felt like the internet's a minefield for connection, this is your audiobook. It's audacious, hilarious, and weirdly comforting in its honesty. You'll listen to it once, then want to dive back in to catch all the little threads between the stories. It's not just a book-it's the soundtrack to that moment you realize you're not alone in feeling rejected, even when you're swiping right on a thousand faces. So grab it, press play, and get ready to nod along to every painfully funny, deeply human moment. You won't regret it.
