The Monosexual is an exploration of identity, obsession, and the absurdities of modern romance. Centered on Vincent Cappellini—a self-proclaimed “ultra-monogamist”—the novel takes a refreshing and unconventional approach to heartbreak, personal transformation, and the rigidity of self-definition.

Vincent, reeling from the abrupt end of what he believed to be his one true relationship, becomes a fascinating character study in denial, delusion, and painful growth. Twice-burned—emotionally by love, and quite literally by the sun—he spirals through a series of chaotic and surreal misadventures while facing the ultimate test to his monosexuality—a new woman in his life. By the way, a term he invented.

The trials Vincent faces—a Sinatra karaoke showdown, an encounter with a rage-fueled ex, and the temptations of a new romantic interest—are cleverly written and symbolic, testing not just his idea of fidelity but the very foundation of who he thinks he is.

What makes The Monosexual interesting is its blend of satire and sincerity. Vincent is both mockable and relatable, and the author shows how clinging to a single romantic ideal can become both a coping mechanism and a cage. The author balances humor with moments of introspection sensitivity dealing with the aftermath of a heart break.

The Monosexual is ultimately a human story about love, identity, and letting go.
