this book was so painfully unfunny and outdated despite being published only a few years ago. akin to parody movies of the mid 2000's but somehow even less enjoyable. it lacked any redeeming qualities within the characters or the sorta kinda there (but barely) plot. it didn't read as subversive or satirical it was just boring and again, exhaustively unfunny.  i hated every second of this book and had it not been for my book club, i would have put this book down immediately after reading the first chapter and never looked back.

Disclaimer: I received this book free from Netgalley

You know what I hate about this book? The fact that this is the third one in the series and I never got around to reading the first two! I saw them on Netgalley, and never picked them up and I could just kick myself. I LOVED this book!

What a joy this book was. Irreverent, silly and hilarious. I found myself literally laughing out loud. I would read lines out to my 11 year old daughter and she giggled like a fiend. We both really enjoyed it and now thanks to this book we call the box holding my cats litter box the “boom boom room”. One of the things I love about this book is that while it is so funny it is also inclusive. See comedy isn’t dead just because we expect more from comedians than the old tired way of punching down on people who are marginalized.

You won’t be sorry if you get a copy of this book, I had a ton of fun reading it. It sped by and kept my interest the entire time. Now I just need to buy the first two in the series!
