My book reviews are not about what is considered good writing etc. This was a fun read. Jen writes in a really witty and humorous way. The characters are always a little weird. I enjoyed Big Swiss more but this was still a good read.

Her trauma, her mental illnesses, her addiction to toxic and weird people.. this book was wild. I love that the cover resembles a bunny- as in for s*x toys.
