5.0

Well I loved this. Joey peacock is just awful but like, this perpetual fourteen year old jerk faced self absorbed but not evil nitwit. Like, I feel like everyone has known someone who you’re just like… you’re SO CLOSE to being an enlightened human being AND YET you’re just a self absorbed delusional little jerk. 

The ending was so fucking
sad. Just fucking wrecked me. Cvetko. Nooooo! You were never real!!!



Anyone this book is about a bunch of morally dark grey monsters with ethics of self-preservation and I liked it. My book club didn’t but hey, I’m the odd one out this time.
