Another good read from Jen Beagin. Incredibly witty, made me laugh out loud while reading several times. 

The main characters in this book and Big Swiss are very similar. Deeply traumatized individuals that go through an eye-opening experience, meet the right people, and begin to inadvertently heal. While also being exceptionally funny. 

It’s all about the undertones in this book. Lots of trigger warnings though, please read with caution.
