Funny, more satire, a dig at male therapists, some limitations around characters being bad people.

Was fun and a little wacky, but complex, too. I liked it. Greta is a well-developed and exciting character; she was my favorite part. The cheating thing was a bit underdeveloped and lost points in my book, though, because, cheating. Also, no resolution there; that final conversation between Greta and Big Swiss felt super unfinished. Also, if it feels like the characters fall in love randomly and suddenly (most romantic comedy novels literally cannot pull off falling in love for some reason, including this one), the book loses a star.

Dark, uproariously funny, queer, bawdy, and deeply affecting. If this weren't a library book that was due back right away, I could dive right back in to this bizarre and compelling book.
