I was given a copy of this book in exchange for a review. 

This book just wasn't for me. It had some funny parts that made me laugh out loud, but it just had a hard time keeping me focused on the story. It's got some action, comedy and even some gore. I would definitely give it a shot if you like any of those things. 

Also, thank you to the author for reaffirming my fear of spiders.

 Fun. Absurd. Action packed Rom-Com.

I really liked this novel and feel its description does it justice. There is a lot going on here, but it all works well and I especially enjoyed the handful of Star Trek references throughout. It’s fast paced, ridiculous, and highly entertaining. It’s not like anything I have quite read before, which is always a pleasure. I also appreciated the disability narrative which is rare. I’m able-bodied and I’d be curious about the thoughts of other readers with lived experience of disability on this specific aspect of the story.
