Zoey is Too Drunk for This Dystopia is the latest installment in New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargin's thrilling Zoey Ashe sci-fi series.Zoey Ashe wakes up every day feeling like she’s trying to steer a battleship while tied to the propeller. The twenty-three-year-old heiress to a criminal empire is navigating a futuristic world of high-tech liars and cutthroats, forced to learn the rules of a devious game she never asked to play. Now she’s facing a crisis that is both bigger and stranger than all that came before:The gleaming new city of Tabula Ra$a is hosting its massive annual music festival, which every year precedes the equally massive annual drunken riot. This is all organized by Zoey's people, including the riot. As her advisors explain, the citizens need a little controlled chaos now and then. Zoey, however, fears the chaos will not stay controlled for long.When a horrific crime is broadcast live on an all-seeing social network, Zoey and her team suspect a carefully-stage hoax arranged by one of the Tabula Ra$a’s shadowy power players. But in a city in which lies are always served in layers, even that explanation will prove far too simple.

"This book was so much fun. I didn’t know that it was book three in a series, but the book works well as a standalone. I’m sure I missed out on some inside jokes, as the book is humorous, but I was still entertained. I will be going back to read books one and two mainly because, I love Zoey! Basic premise is Zoey inherited a bunch of money from her uber rich crime-lord adjacent father. She is now the head of an empire of shady businesses but she’s trying to right the ship and pursue better things. The city, Tabula Rasa, is known for its vice, vanity and extreme wealth. It’s election time and Zoey must make it through her crazy day to day while still manipulating the masses to get the guy her team wants to win the election to…well, win the election. There are explosions, augmented humans, and fight scenes… and that’s just on day one. Amidst all of the crazy action happening there are also three missing escorts (Zoey’s employees) who may be victims of a brutal killer if Zoey and the suits can’t find them in time. This book is fun, action packed and entertaining. This book reads more like a mystery than science fiction because everyone has an agenda, and you have to figure out who is behind everything that happens. I highly recommend this book.<br/><br/>Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's press for the chance to read this book as a Read Now option. Thank you to Jason Pargin for writing this book and bringing Zoey into my life."
