Viscerally human and so so funny. I truly love each and every one of these characters. Would be the perfect book for aliens to read when they take over Earth to understand what homo sapiens are. It's pretty corny, but I loved it.

Beautifully written and something I needed to read and didn’t know I did. Life isn’t perfect but it’s not supposed to be and this book embodied that completely. From the characters trying their best to the writing the book had me laughing and crying.
