This is one of my favorite books of the year! Listened to it on audiobook, but really loved it. It legitimately made me laugh out loud at times. A lot of dark gallows humor. It's so realistic that it's slightly painful and cringey at times, but also made me love Maggie more. Definitely going to read again.

It's a really gripping story. Even if you're not specifically enjoying the story, you still want to read more.

I really liked this as a whole.
