My first true comedy fiction read and I loved it. I read it on MDW to relax and have a few giggles and I truly did. It reads like a tv show in the sense that I can picture all of this happening. I was frustrated with Jesse but then It became clear to me that she isn’t smart. And that sounds means but when you think about her actions from no contact with her “controlling” but supportive parents to her dating history (and trusting them both with her money and life), you’re like wow, lots of bad decisions. But then you see everyone around her is making even worst decisions. But in this case, it made for laugh out loud book and not one that makes me want to chunk my kindle across the room. Would read more from him since everyone claims this isn’t even his best work.

Everglades alligator is the animal death in question; someone shoots it in the head when it tries to attack another person/animal.

This book would be 5 stars if it weren't for the inclusion of the main antagonists. The way they were written was trauma-triggering and completely out of place for the care-free comedy book that this is. The main two antagonists could have been completely written out completely and the story wouldn't have changed drastically, and the missing links could have easily been connected using the secondary antagonists.

I wouldn’t say that this is the most masterful piece of literature but it was definitely entertaining and hilarious and I don’t know from experience, but I am fairly certain, it’s exactly what Florida is like.
