5.0

One of my favourite books of all time. Amazing coming of age. The prose is weird and unique. It’s often gross but real life is too. 

This book is more about generational legacy, trauma and healing. Cultural pride. Coming of age. Queerness etc than it is about the rabid grasshoppers 

If you like weird, subversive but hilarious books this is for you.
