I enjoyed this book! I loved the twists, the writing, the life lessons thrown in. I can't stop thinking about how everyone has a different internal clock and what that means.

Most of the trigger warning content is in the latter part of the book. Skip the restaurant scene (which depicts a weird form of bulimia) and the scene after the narrator is tasered. You won't really miss any plot points.
