Not my cup of tea. Lots of broken, unlikable characters trying to figure out life which isn't my favorite thing to read.

I’m trying to figure out why this has such a low rating and quite simply I cannot find a reason to rate this under 5 stars. Perfect? I’m unsure, but it was deeply deranged, laugh out loud funny, and a wild adventure. I loved it
