Modern dating is dead.
 
Life with a living partner can be tricky. But the #1 dating app in the world, LIV, offers a solution! Date a corpse.
 
Romantic relationships mean having tough conversations and rough patches. An embalmed body, though? Well, they’ve got no opinions, desires, or complex emotional responses. What was once taboo is now a booming business.
 
At the heart of this deranged app are three living, breathing humans who all feel quite differently about the new world they’ve built.
 
Tom is the venture capitalist rockstar who’s mortified he’s funding the whole thing. Auden is LIV’s visionary founder who’s ready to see his app succeed no matter what. And Mara is Auden’s step-sister who has inadvertently found herself entrenched in a tech business she has no interest in.
 
Forging a business relationship based on a dating app for corpses is one thing. But finding love in a world now obsessed with death will prove almost impossible. 
 
For Human Use is a twisted tale of modern love that bends every genre, sears itself into your brain, and presents a horrific romantic comedy unlike anything you’ve ever read before.
