This book is a hidden gem and I'm so glad to have read it. It was a refreshing read with Mim's very intriguing adventure and all throughout the book had amazingly funny one liners and hilarious interactions. With that being said, this book does an amazing job at portraying real life; how quickly life can go from joy to sadness. Reader's should allow Mim to serve as a reminder to focus on the goods things, and no matter how bumpy the road seems you'll always make it through with greatness.

I'm actually not sure if I liked this book. It definitely made me think, but I can't tell if it's a work of modern genius or an incomprehensible stream of consciousness. Mim is certainly an interesting character, and her quest to find her mom is admirable and something I could really relate to, but some topics brought up in the book and the way they were handled made me uneasy. The writing style in and of itself is incredibly interesting though, and the descriptions that come from Mim are weirdly wonderful. Whether I loved it or not, I will definitely be thinking about it for a while
