Barely anything in this book felt interesting to me. I didn't like any of the characters and their motivations, the plot was also easy to guess. The style of writing and the short chapters did make for an easy read.

This is probably my favourite Matt Haig book I’ve read because I found I didn’t guess the plot and I found it quite refreshing and genuinely amusing without trying too hard.
