It's like a FUNNY version of Gone Girl or Promising Young Woman?? Like an EXCITING version of My Year of R&R?? Like all three, there's a theory of gender and anger buried here that I can't quite articulate. The protagonist is delightfully unreliable - incisive about some things, totally oblivious to others. I wanted to SCREAM when I read the ending (which I stayed up late to finish)!!!
Graphic: Death, Infidelity, Violence, Forced institutionalization, Death of parent, and Murder
Moderate: Drug abuse, Drug use, and Sexual content
Content notes: Incarceration; a teen willingly sends nudes to an adult without the adult's consent
