Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair review. I already love Melissa Broder but this solidified it. I guarantee this book is not for everyone - our main character gets lost in the woods while grieving her father and sometimes finds herself inside of a cactus and other times having horrific injuries. It was laugh out loud funny and then immediately I was holding back tears. I don’t know how she does it… she is so brilliant at writing such visceral stories - I felt her pain so bad I had to stand up and put the book down, and when I finished it I said “oh my god” out loud. Everyone GO READ THIS!!! It’s 2 hours of your life! Just do it!!
