So ridiculous! On a good way. From page 1 I laughed at the absurdity til I choked, repeatedly. Reading it feels like watching a spot-on stand-up routine crossed with those awkward open mic nights where people read their high school diaries. From their hypothetical hipster battle not-so-royale to Caesar being relieved everyone was just regicidal, not hanging out without him, the stories are delightfully zany. The virtuoso authors can take a horror movie throw away line like "see you in hell" and spin into the start of a beautifully bizarre afterlife friendship between slaughtered and slaughterer. They aren't all winners, but a solid percentage are literal-lol funny.

such a genuinely funny, unique set of short stories. I usually have trouble with short story books however this one was very well done. What Rebecca and Ben are doing and have accomplished so early on is truly inspiring, would love to read more of these!!

Some of these stories were funny (we have your son, the drug dealer one), but most of them were not for me. I was expecting more dry, smart humor, but got borderline obnoxious.

It was ok. The first half I couldn't relate to, read more like inside jokes and stories. A little passed the mid point it got better, more interesting and engaging.
