My favorite parts were the sad-funny, raunchy, straightforward segments. Could have done without some of the more abstract language/sections when the rest of the book was so easy and pleasurable to read. In a weird way I found this book extremely realistic and relatable. I would definitely recommend this book, despite its minor imperfections.

Not for everyone, but I liked Saterstrom's spare novel. For a change, an experimental novel style that doesn't totally jettison any idea of plot and still allows for an emotional reaction to the main character's trajectory. Smart.
