Spoiler
The part where they lie about the chronological order of events and about what actually happened was especially entertaining. I love how they all get mostly happy endings; it goes to show that people can create new lives and realities for themselves at any age, and that it's never too late to have fun adventures and to do all the things you want to do.Graphic: Violence, Alcohol, and Death

i DID have a lot of fun with it and i definitel enjoyed the writing style and the premise, but i also really needed my month-long break from it, because it was a LOT, especially with all the deaths and the excessive mention of alcohol.
