Synthetic Bi Products follows a 19-year-old bisexual girl on her whirlwind journey of sexual escapades, drug-induced hallucinations, shoplifting sprees, and other criminal behavior. Searching for identity and meaning, Orleigh runs wild through a landscape of lost children—the mall rats, grunge kids, Deadheads, freaks, and slackers of the early '90s—first in Chicago, then on to L.A. Sexy and romantic, a fast-paced story of lust, deception and heartache, Synthetic Bi Products is a compelling and original novel narrated in a bold, fresh, funny voice.
