I don’t know if I give this five stars or none. An utter train wreck, but in an endearing way? Kind of terrible but unstoppable and I could not divert my attention until it was done.
Sometimes books have a cool premise and turn out so lame. This one is such a silly and unhinged concept and I grew very emotionally attached to the characters and their stories. I have so many feelings about this book and none of them are concise.
Highly recommend if you like Vonnegut-ish dry humor and fucked up dates with heartwarming impact.
**READ IT IN PRINT, I beg of you, the audiobook narration is unbearable, unless you’re stoned and laugh uncontrollably about how ridiculous that is, too**
