Did I like any of the characters or care about them? No.
Did I enjoy this read? Immensely.
I read this on a 10 hour flight, cackling all the while. So maybe it was (plane) cabin fever or jetlag delirium, but I had the time of my life reading this. But it's truly hilarious and the plot twist (which I want to talk about with someone. Anyone!) had me SCREAMING.
Sometimes it was extremely uncomfortable (so much internalized homophobia in the main characters, who are both queer) and neither main character is really redeemable. But it's kind of worth it for the deranged plot twist.

the frequent support for elon musk and roman polanski was an odd choice. the characters were all insufferable (with the exception of cinnamon).
just ...yikes.
