Pretend I'm Dead by Jen Beagin

4.25

I loved this book. The way it was structured into a handful of almost self-contained vignettes made it extremely readable, and Mona's weird brain made it even more so. Some reviews say the book is crass, and it is, but in such a casual and specific way that it doesn't feel gratuitous, just honest. It's dark and funny and hard to swallow, but I loved it and I'm excited to read its sequel (and possibly even re-read her most recent title). I'd recommend this to fans of Emily Austin and Melissa Broder.
