I was recommended this by my flatmate and read most of it in a plaza in seville. It was a lot darker than I expected, I felt slightly missold as the back cover makes it sound funny. There were funny moments for sure, the main character is awkward and gets herself into some absurd situations, but it was also a really vivid portrayal of mental illness which I wasn't expecting. I should have read the trigger warnings before I started.
Graphic: Animal death, Addiction, Blood, Mental illness, Lesbophobia, Death, Car accident, Transphobia, Panic attacks/disorders, Homophobia, Suicide, Suicidal thoughts, Self harm, Religious bigotry, and Dementia
