Parts of this book made me laugh out loud and I resonate with it a lot as a millennial figuring out life right now.
With that being said, I ended up DNFing this at 60% through, because there are so many characters and the dialogue switches back and forth so much, it became confusing and more of a task than anything. Also, the dialogue is just extremely negative and the relationships are so toxic-with all of that combined, this book just wasn't for me!

I enjoyed this book from start to finish: the people were simultaneously awful and lovable based on their vacillating behavior and dubious opinions of themselves and others. Laugh-out-loud satire, and often embarrassingly relatable (as a millenial). I will read anything Butler writes.
