Meet the Nipple Hair Man, the Sterile Man, and the With A Small Dick. From one fling to another and from heartache to a new crush, our narrator analyses the fundamental questions in the life of a single woman: How much joy can a dildo give?

”Self-censorship is exhilaratingly low.”
Millamari Uotila, Savon Sanomat
”In the end, My Imaginary Boyfriend isn’t an ode to free single-sex and taxi queue acquaintances but instead an ode to finding your place in the world and discovering inner peace.”
Krista, Suomi lukee -blog
”Racy, wild and utterly funning.”
Editors Alice Huth & Friederike Zeiniger, dtv Germany
"There is a lot of direct talk about sex in MY IMAGINARY BOYFRIEND and THE BIKINI BORDERLINE CASE, but what is negotiated at its chore are the big questions about relationships and individuation, that concern young women: Where do we come from, who are we and who do we want to be. How can and how do we want to love, live?
With her clear, contemporary voice and her very own sense of humor, Henriikka R. describes a process of appropriation, of female empowerment. And that is an extremely liberating read."
