Such a strange strange book. I can’t even begin to imagine what the authors mind is like. I previously read convenient store woman and there were some similarities. Overall, this covers serious and deep topics such as trauma and sexual assault in a very funny and kid/childish tone. This could almost be mistaken for YA but it’s simply not the case.
