This book was so bad that it was almost good. Once I realized it was all satire, I allowed myself to laugh and roll with the punches.

This was a very enjoyable read, with a surprisingly emotional core. I grew attached to the main characters in a way I hadn't expected given their apparent silliness at the beginning. 
The ending felt like it wrapped up just a bit too quickly and neatly, especially
Cassy and Chip's relationship.

I do wish the queer representation had been handled a bit differently,
the incorrect assumption that Archie was gay and the surprise reveal that Callum was gay felt a bit tokenistic rather than allowing sexuality to just be part of a well rounded character.

I really enjoyed this book a lot! The title is what caught my attention, but I have also read a couple of books by this group of authors, so I knew this was bound to be a good book! I loved the relationship between the 3 “friends” and how they grew throughout the story. This one has a couple twists and turns and the narrators did an amazing job with the accents and everything. Would definitely recommend!!

I liked this way more than I thought I would. There were dark themes but also humor and a lot of love. I would hang with all these characters in a hot minute. So happy I picked it up.
