A very interesting set of short stories; that link together. More on the darker side this book has an interesting narrative that is easy to read.

I went into this book completely blind to what it was and based on title I was thinking it was going to be rather dark, and while some of the subject matter was bleak this was honestly a super fun little read. If you’re looking for horror maybe this isn’t exactly it but I found myself taken by this vigilante therapist and his escapades. 

It was silly, it was camp, it was ridiculous, I could definitely see why this is not the story for everyone but if you’re strictly a horror reader (like myself) and you want a little break in between books that make you feel bad/sad, this was surprisingly light hearted while still being gripping at points. 

I will definitely pick up the other two the next time I’m looking for a quick, ridiculous read.

1 hour 9 minutes - This book was very strange and not at all what I was expecting. I didn't dislike it - I would go as far as to say that I was intrigued by the stories and the way the often intertwove, but I was also incredibly confused and this did impact my enjoyment of the book. I'm not sure how I feel about it from an objective standpoint - it does make a trivialisation and a borderline mockery of mental illness at times. However, I really did like the characters of Elliott and Noah.
