Buckle the fuck up because you’re in for a wild ride! Jason Pargin newest book, and stand alone novel is one hell of a hilarious thrill. We start off strong with our forum dweller, twitch streamer and alleged incel Abbott aka Abbadon is doing his side gig as a lyft driver and receives one ride request that would change the course of his life, when he arrives there is a girl hauling a large black box that offers him a large sum of cash but with a few conditions: no phones, no questions and most importantly, can’t look inside the box. This book is like a chocolate box of different points of view, it also gives you a perspective of what happens when you let the internet spin its own web of a tale and let people run with it like it is the truth. It’s hilarious, its fast paced and you can’t put it down because you need to know, WHAT’S IN THE FUCKING BOX? I already pre-ordered my book, so this was a sneak peak for me of one of my most anticipated reads of the year from one of my all time favorite authors. I want to thank NetGalley for allowing me to read this amazing ARC.
