Wickedly funny and very much a page turner. I barely wanted to put this book down!
The characters are brilliant, the plot is explosive, the representation is great, and the ending is pleasing.
You do need to be able to pay attention whilst reading to make the most of the ‘accent’ and language used in the writing/conversation.
I was pleased how the book turned out for most of the characters and didn’t feel like there were any loop holes or obvious loose threads.
Overall very funny and enjoyable.

This book is similar to the European Renaissance-esque YA novels of my adolescence, with a resourceful and clever protagonist and lovable dolt of a love interest. Except there's hard drugs and casual sex so this is definitely a grown up book. Very much recommend to others.
