This was a fantastic book. Funny, dark, introspective, a philosophy on life. Everyone felt so real, like they could be real people and not just characters in a book. They had sharp edges and rounded corners and vulnerabilities. Even the gorgeous people had their faults and they weren’t glamorous faults, just dusty, old regular people faults. Really enjoyed this, author has instantly become an auto-read.
