In UNMARRIED MAN, Emmy Kuperschmid offers a scathing parody of shows like The Bachelor, going after it with all her refined darkly comedic chops that hit the reader in all the right places. While the comedy is largely absurdist (a breadstick ceremony for a show sponsored by The Olive Garden, the titular Unmarried Man bringing the phrase "my dead fiance" in almost every one of his interactions, among other bits), the commentary on women's place in reality tv is pitch-perfect and all these weirdos are lovable in their own ways. Highly recommended!
