I did not expect to shed a tear or two when reading this book. 

I thought this will be a light contemporary book with a sprinkle of dark humour  in it. Oh boy was I wrong. 

I just wanna say to other people who considers reading this, especially for those who have anxiety, the writing style is very chaotic and it might overwhelm you. Please read with caution as there are a lot of panic attacks scene in the story.

But then you'll also get this kind of writing too, which is delightful.  

I bet that baby would be absolutely baffled to hear why she’s enduring this. Imagine someone forced you to wear a miniature wedding gown, dunked you underwater in front of an audience of your loved ones, and then explained that their rationale for doing so was so that when you die your spirit would fly to the clouds. If I were this baby, my first words would be “fuck off.”

I enjoyed this so much tho. This book is so funny and ironic and tragic and isn't that what life is?
