Goofy, silly, fun time! The definition of the word "unserious."

Every situation seems too convenient and predictable! There's no real plot twist except may be one. 

The plot twist half way through the book was a nice surprise

Ok Layne Fargo, I was not aware of your game 👏🏼👏🏼 this has been sitting on my shelves for what feels like years and it wasn’t about halfway through that I realized this is the same author of THE FAVORITES, another banger from this year. Fargo’s writing is so quick-paced and sharp, it’s hard not to get sucked into her novels. I picked this up after getting ghosted a few years back when I was in need of some badass feminist rage lit, and even today, it did not disappoint.
