Really enjoyed this book. It was funny and lighthearted despite being filled with gore and murder. Will Carver somehow made fillipantly discarding bodies hilarious and I have zero regrets.

This book about an apartment building that isn't quite as it seems had some interesting ideas but it didn't 100% work for me. The concept is great and I loved the ending, but I think the middle took too long (we linger on some povs WAY longer than we need to) and there are a lot of typos including in characters’ names, which could make things confusing.
