What a ride! Okay so first, the content was the extremely racy and shocking - even for a dirty-minded human like myself. Once I got past that and the incorrect grammar used throughout by the main characters … the book quickly picked up the pace. By the end, the thoughts of the characters, the seemingly disparate details, and the way things are written all come together beautifully to leave you with some very deep thoughts about life, love, and loss. For those who have seen Fight Club, the style that Chuck Palahniuk used here is very similar. I look forward to reading another book of his soon!
