“Single and Loathing It: A Novel” by  Michael Dennis

Low-life ad executive and part-time drunk Chris Van Zandt is on an existential conquest to find love any way he can.

Single and Loathing It is a razor-sharp and intensely funny depiction of the desperate days and nights on the dating circuit as a millennial. With nothing but optimism, pharmaceuticals, copious amounts of alcohol, and an array of smartass comments to aide him in his mission, Van Zandt’s life spirals into a series of bizarre escapades, including getting catfished, dating a born-again virgin, attending an upscale orgy while on MDMA, and just about anything involving his unforgettably eccentric friend and co-worker, Greg.
