Holy cow, that was a lot anti- capitalist messages. Not saying anything against it, but wow that was a lot. The first half was very hard to read because there wasn’t much plot happening besides Ernest talking for, you know, fifteen chapters straight. The second half on the other hand, was great. There was action, turmoil, and yet the message was still there. And, you know, Avis and Anna girlbossing their way through life. 

If you’re cool with monologues, then this is a book for you.
