Wow! What a trip! Where do I even begin?
First of all, I'd like to say that Faye Andresen is one of the best characters I've ever read!
Absolutely loved her and all her flaws!
The comedy of the book is spot on and it kinda reminds me of this almost satire-like style from American Psycho and American Beauty.
Then only reason this book isn't a 5 star for me is that sometimes the long descriptions were tiredsome, even tho much enjoyable, and right about the middle of the book.....

****TRIGGER WARNING AND SPOILER ALERT*****

there's a scene containing a quite explicit rape description of a minor and it really threw me off guard. In a book that is intended to be a comedy, even if it's a raw satire kind of comedy, having such descriptions were uncessessary, in my opinion. They did not add anything I already didn't know to the character which this happened to... so there was that...
Nevertheless,
This book has amazing, powerful, (and most important in my opinion,) FLAWED feminine characters and also awesome disaster male characters! Loved it!
Many parts of the book got me laughing out loud and I don't think I've had such an enjoyable read in a long time! Like, this book is over 600 pages but it didn't feel like a burden to read! I fell in love with most of the characters and wanted to dig deep into their personal, chaotic lives!
Special s/o to Bishop! What a man! What a character!
