Tim Cann sends us on a wild satirical comedic adventure that mixes in thought-provoking questions about modern society with Canceled! Lane Bryantt is a shameless debutant that answers to no one (but her followers of course). But when Lane and her social media influencer sons get wrapped up in a dangerous reality show, they’ll have to grow beyond their shallow lifestyle if they have any hope of escaping. Cann throws a wonderfully bombastic plot at us and packs it to the brim with great dark humor, but the thing I loved most about Canceled was its deeper poke at a society run by ‘likes’ and the outward show. This novel is fun, but a huge part of that fun is its depth and the way it makes you think after you walk away. If you’re looking for a humorous adventure with a decent amount of philosophy baked in, definitely come join the show with Canceled!
