Hello, Limerence

Hello, Limerence by Momo, Yamaguchi  is a sharp, unsettling contemporary literary fiction novel about the fine line between wanting someone and losing yourself in the wanting. If you’ve ever had a crush that tipped into fixation, this is the book that will get under your skin and stay there.

Told with a keen eye for the ways we perform desire, Limerence follows a narrator whose everyday life starts to orbit one magnetic presence. What begins as ordinary curiosity quietly reshapes friendships, routines, and self-image, building into something more consuming. Expect a darkly funny, psychologically astute read that explores obsession, intimacy, and the stories we tell ourselves to make longing feel like fate.

Perfect for fans of off-kilter, voice-driven fiction—especially readers who loved the bite and weirdness of Eliza Clark or Mona Awad—and anyone who enjoys character-led books with a touch of dark humour.

Add it to your stack and see where desire takes you.
