I enjoyed this book more than I thought I was going to. The cast of characters were really diverse and mostly very loveable. The tone of voice is so unique. It’s brash enough to make you cringe one sentence, and then so gentle that your heart melts the next. It was a really compelling read and I throughly enjoyed it.

3.5 to 4 stars

Wow. What a beautifully written novel. I loved this book despite all the shed tears.

visceral

A depressing yet compelling account of mental illness spanning 20ish years. Humorous but equally sobering all at once.
