No lie, I think this book gave me a spiritual crisis. Ongoing, will probably not report back later because it's personal. Exactly what I needed at this moment, though. And incredibly well done. Also funny as hell.

The concept of the book hooked me, but I found the execution lacking. In my humble opinion could've done with more focused plot - there were a few chapters that were irrelevant to the story...though the book did make me LOL several times.

I absolutely loved this book until the last chapter. Very disappointing ending that knocked this book down from a 5 star read to a 3-4. Way to cop out of finishing your book
