Reading this book was kind of like watching a train wreck that you can't look away from. Everything went off the rails, but the ride was fun and funny along the way. Yeah, there was some damage, but it wasn't a complete tragedy. 

Reid writes about murky ethics and microaggressions masterfully. The flawed characters are believable and relatable, and the overall mood is more hopeful than bleak. Nicole Lewis did a fantastic job with the audio narration. At first her Southern accent made me cringe, but I grew to appreciate the over-the-topness of it.
