The MC in this is older than I’m used to reading for but, God, did she not act her age. I! enjoyed how individually insane all of the characters were. They certainly all had their peccadillos and none that were unforgivable. The MC gets significantly more unbearable as the story continues which I sort of think is the point? This a sex comedy that somehow balances precariously between dark and fun. It’s getting it’s one HBO show I think? Idk I don’t have much to say about this! I know it’s true to life to have books where characters only sort of learn things but I find it so unsatisfying as a reader. Im giving it four stars even though don’t think I’d reread it; which is makes it 3 stars on my scale. It’s rly about shoving affection into a gaping wound and expecting it to close. Very gay!
