Description Toward Books Crosstalk

Science fiction icon Connie Willis brilliantly mixes a speculative plot, the wit of Nora Ephron, and the comedic flair of P. G. Wodehouse in Crosstalk, a genre-bending novel that pushes social media, smartphone technology, and twenty-four-hour availability to hilarious and chilling extremes as one young woman abruptly finds herself with way more connectivity than she ever desired.

In the not-too-distant future, a simple outpatient procedure to increase empathy between romantic partners has become all the rage. And Briddey Flannigan is delighted when her boyfriend, Trent, suggests undergoing the operation prior to a marriage proposal - to enjoy better emotional connection and a perfect relationship with complete communication and understanding. But things don't quite work out as planned, and Briddey finds herself connected to someone else entirely - in a way far beyond what she signed up for.

It is almost more than she can handle - especially when the stress of managing her all-too-eager-to-communicate-at-all-times family is already burdening her brain. But that's only the beginning. As things go from bad to worse, she begins to see the dark side of too much information, and to realize that love - and communication - are far more complicated than she ever imagined.

Criticize Based On Books Crosstalk

This Subterranean Press hardcover edition is marked PC of 500 copies produced and is signed by Connie Willis.

Honestly, I have no idea how to rate this book. I had a wonderful time reading it and this may very well be the most FUN I've had reading a book lately, but it also doesn't hold together very well in a lot of ways. Getting the characters into amusing situations seemed to come before logic and characterization and the characters are one note... And yet, I could hardly put it down even though I had a lot of issues with it!The part of me that loved how entertaining it was wants to give it 4-4.5

2ish stars.This is ridiculous. Well obviously because it's farce, but if you ask me, it's more of an irritating, eye-roll ridiculous than a humorous one. In this book, Willis has the subtlety of a hand grenade and the nuance of a stick figure. It's a fast-paced romantic sci-fi comedy about telepathic gingers except it's hard to tell when the comedy is intended and the romance is creepy. (view spoiler)[C.B. emotionally manipulates Briddey by playing knight-in-shining-armor, constantly lying to

Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy BooksI love Connie Williss work. I devour everything she writes, and Im utterly incapable of judging her books impartially. She once granted me at 90-minute interview, and its not an exaggeration to say that it changed my life. Which is why its surprising that I did not care for her new book, Crosstalk, a romantic comedy that other reviewers are praising to the skies. I found this book to have a great concept but tedious pacing and sloppy characterization. Im

Reading this book is like experiencing a prolonged anxiety attack. But wait! That's not a bad thing! It's like having a funny, clever and romantic anxiety attack!Connie Willis' books tend to either feature a comedy of manners set against a dark and dire background... or a comedy of manners in a somewhat less catastrophic situation. This is one in the less-dire and more light-hearted category. But Willis' humor always has her own distinct flavor; it's unmistakable - and I love it. Here, she riffs

I really liked the middle (roughly) one-third of this book. The rest was incredibly annoying. So I'm going to review this in third parts.First third: Briddey is just a girl who can't say no, can't set any boundaries (tip: don't give keys to people you can't trust not to break into your apartment), and can't finish a sentence. For the entire first third, that's all that's happening: people are telling her what to do, she's trying to get out of it without every saying "No" or "I don't want to,"

Remember when Apple launched their watch (the year before last?) and there was that creepy app where you could transmit your heartbeat to another wearer or just even tap out morse code for "I am following you with a knife"?Well, it freaked Connie out a little too. And her wonderful mind took this on and pushed this creepy technology to its limit. Trent and Briddey have had a whirlwind office romance over the last month, and Trent has popped the question. No, not engagement, but to get an EED.
