I enjoyed this book, It took me  awhile to get into it because the main character kept pissing me off. It's a slow read at first but once you get into the story it's a quick read.  The only reason I didn't give it four stars is because I think that the story line could've been a bit more refined, it felt like the author was pilling on trauma just for the sake of it.  The book isn't very funny it may give you some small chuckles but not hahaha tears from laughing and its usually pretty dark humor. 
But it does have an uplifting/hopeful end
