I did not find this book to be funny at all. It was a sad and depressing book, with a fairly unsatisfying ending.

Fast-paced and funny, absurd plot and characters yet also oddly relatable. Another reader review described it as the absurd and banal alongside each other and I think that’s spot on. The farcical elements are woven through with real emotions. I’d like to read more of her work.
