I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Maybe this is just too much with the tropes that I am looking for and expect, but I found the character development to be great, the humor resonated with me, and I felt that the consequences of the characters actions were valid and real. Highly recommend this book if it seems at all like something that you’d want to read.

I enjoyed this. The characters were well-written and the story was realistic in the sense that I felt immersed in the city comedy scene. The book was really good in the sense that it was all meat, no filler. Every character was practical and made realistic judgments and actions even when it was bad.
Some thoughts I had when reading:
- Why are you such a people pleaser girl
-Why are you trying to parent/train your bf
- I'm with her friend, at some point, you can't be friends with someone who's being abused, it draining and dangerous.
- That prep joke was funny.

If I had to compare this author to anyone, it would be Emma Mills because 1. I will read anything either of them write. and 2. We all seem to have a similar sense of humor. I am using this for a book challenge where the category is "book that makes you laugh out loud." Granted, I generally laugh a lot while reading, but I genuinely enjoyed the bits in this book.
Also, I think this may be the first book I have ever read that mentioned auditory processing disorder, something I struggle with but had not know about until a couple of years ago.

This book was not at all what I thought it would be. On Goodreads the tags for the book call it coming of age, humor and comedy. Maybe it is just me but none of those words would be how I would describe the mood of this book. I would more so deem the mood as sad and tense. Isabel is a high school junior who is very introverted so the only friend she really has is her shitty controlling boyfriend Alex. Isabel also feel like an outcast within her own family. One night Isabel accidentally stumbles into a comedy club and does a stand-up set. After she completes her impromptu set Isabel makes friends with a few other comics in the club. The only problem with that is the other comics are in college. The age dilemma causes Isabel to weave herself into a web of lies. Isabel is using comedy as coping mechanism to find a way out of her life and to try to gain acceptance. I found this book through a YouTube book channel. I wish I would have researched the content warnings more closely before reading. Side note the plant references throughout the book became annoying after a while.
