funny

idk if this was just a coincidence with being tired but this put me in a reading slump. it hooked at first with the funny lines but i wanted it to be over towards the end… turns out the non quote dialogue style wasn’t for me and it felt kinda shallow into each character’s story. mike’s mom was funny tho hard to believe sometimes. plot sounded really interesting though with their vastly different diverse backgrounds, i was looking forward to that

I found this very monotone and could barely distinguish between the characters. Where was the COMEDY, where was the DRAMA.  I literally got nothing from this. 
About as funny and dramatic as stale bread.

It was just too sad and a bit mundane for me.
