No more potstickers for me!
This story was awesome! Absolutely insane, Jessica tells a whopper of a tale, tons of OMG and WTF! Just the way I like it. I couldn't ask for anything more. Plus, Jessica is awesome IRL, so yeah, this was an epic experience!
5/5 Skulls

If you put your Philip K. Dick into your partner’s Irvine Welsh and gave it a good grinding William S. Burroughs, you might get a little close to what The Green Kangaroos gives ya. But, if you started off with an injection pure Hubert Selby Jr. in your nut-sack, you’d probably be able to get fairly close. Still, nothing quite compares to the real thing. Jessica McHugh delivers a throbbing rush that makes turning the page, to find out what happens next, addictive. She delivers the goods all the way up until the ending. At that point, you’d be willing to sell your most tender parts just to get another fix.

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this novel - it was a great science fiction novel that dealt with issues such as drugs and addiction. It was a gripping read, and I couldn't wait to finish it. It is not a book for everyone, but wow, I was very impressed by it and I cannot wait to read more by Jessica McHugh.

I recently finished reading THE GREEN KANGAROOS by Jessica McHugh, and I highly recommend the read if you haven't picked up a copy yet.
It reminded me of a science fiction version of one of Ellen Hopkin's books, and as someone who is a fan of medical horror and books about addiction and psychological chaos, I enjoyed this one immensely.
