We have rom-coms (romantic comedies), do we have fan-coms (fantastical comedies) too? If not, we should hv that genre & this book should be the crowning jewel of that genre! 

This book is at times silly but is incredibly humorous at all times! It's filled with excessive puns, innuendos, swear words & sex talk and is meant for an adult audience. 

Honestly I am quite astonished with myself for adoring this book as much as I do! Especially when I generally stay away from stories that have too much swearing & sex talk in it. 

So, Why do I like it so much despite it being cheesy & sappy?? Coz of the writing & characters. 

The writing is just fabulous! And the humour? I am using the often used phrase from this novel "Oh My Gods!" I haven't laughed so hard reading a book as much I did with this one. 

Full credits to the audiobook though, I am not sure I would have loved it as much as I did if not for the audiobook. If not for anything else just check out the audiobook for the narrator, he's top class!!

Some of the things I absolutely adored in this book were the:
1. Humour 
2. Witty dialogues & super awesome comebacks
3. Found family - the love & affection between the characters made me want to hug my own family members & risk creeping them out a bit due to my sudden attitude change😋

Things that I had just a teeny bit problem with: 
Too much focus on Sam & his "awesomeness", like I get it, he's cool, he's the strongest blah blah but it all seemed too forced & artificially cheery.

He's supposed to be super powerful but apparently he's not aware of the effect he has on people. Sometimes his callousness & carelessness is taken a bit too casually. It all comes back to my pet peeve, I don't like adults behaving like kids, immaturity in adults is so uncool!

Also I absolutely didn't buy into the love story. At all! It wasn't romantic, it wasn't the mature & sensible love story that u wud expect from adults. It's too cliched but then  this story has a talking unicorn & funny monologue obsessed "villains", also a sexual relationship between 2 entirely different species! What else was I expecting? Hence I realised, It's fine to snooze my thinking brain for a while & have a chill, happy time with this novel. 

This book is an incredibly funny, utterly ridiculous, insanely heartwarming & a full timepass story. Read it to have a really good time. To lift your spirits & put that magic back into ur heart & mind.

This book is so funny -- I guffawed multiple times! And yet at times I had tears in my eyes, touched by the love the characters had for each other, and sad for Sam who loved someone who he couldn't have. It is a silly adventure, and also a coming of age story. It's a great tale of friendship and adventure and I loved every word of it!
