IR VERDICT:
An accountant of sorts, minor YouTube celebrity “Leverage” is an office cubicle prisoner by day and a self-help videographer who shares “wise-isms” for the lovelorn by night. Graham Parke’s novel, SOMETIMES I’M SO SMART I FEEL LIKE A REAL PERSON, offers spot-on insights into the age-old mating game and is a clever, funny, yet sad send-up of digital connectedness.
