so. on one hand, i laughed out loud multiple times reading this book. on the other hand, i got so bored during the middle that i ended up skimming through maybe seven chapters? i just wanted something to happen, and there wasn't enough tension/yearning to keep me engaged.
general+ending spoilers

i wish we could've seen more of the supporting friend group, because honestly they were the funniest part of the book for me. everyone watching from the car during luc's awful undump-me speech was fantastic lol. also the ending was really abrupt. almost feels like there was a third missing act.

this is the first book i finished in one sitting how insane, this is getting the lower rating (it absolutely would be 4.5 stars) if the stronger subjects were handled with more care, it was good, but very frustrating at times ESPECIALLY at the end, but for the time it was written  i would have loved to see more care given to the theme of mental health
