If I'm being completely honest, this book is a lot of fun if you're a huge Waters fan, but I couldn't imagine it would be worth the time if you're not. It's not written like a novel so much as it just feels like Waters telling you a story. It also loses a lot of focus as the novel goes on; characters falling into the background and plot threads being very (and I mean VERY) quickly wrapped up in the final chapters of the book. It's not an amazing novel by any means, but as a Waters mega fan, it was fun to read.

The main plot was very engaging and it made want to keep reading, but there was just...too much. It felt like Waters was trying to force edginess and hilarity.

I mean for such an unsexy book there is a lot of sex. Unhinged, obviously.
