Well written prose, a number of likeable characters. You can tell which ones Millet puts in more care for. The others, largely, feel like caricatures, particularly as you get further from what seems to be Millet's own perspective. Some characters felt more like props than people, others don't really escape the tropes they're based in, strange for what's ostensibly a character-driven novel. Often times her writing feels gratuitous. As for the humor, I found only 2 or 3 stories funny, but everyone's taste is different.
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Pedophilia, Racism, and Sexual violence
Moderate: Death
