I dont really know how to write a review for this book because it definitely wasn’t what I expected it to be.

It was interesting in the sense that I have never read anything like it before, and it really did feel like I was reading someones diary. But, in a way, it also felt like I was reading something that I wasn’t supposed to read, like I was invading someones privacy. 

I’ll be honest, I had a hard time getting through this book because I couldn’t bring myself to like the person who’s story this is. 

I still dont really like him that much, but at least I understood him a little better before placing my judgment of this book.

All in all, did I like this book, No. and here is a reminder that the target audience for this book are adults. This book is pretty explicit and is pretty much just the romanticization of a 30 year old alcoholic and his unhealthy relationships.

This book is not good, and not just because the main character is a terrible and unlikeable person. Everyone in this book is... On top of everything it's ungodly slow.

Over half the book he's not even doing anything except lambasting how much he hates his new job

The only good thing about this book is that it ended.

Entertaining, gross, farfetched read.  Won’t read the sequel. This book made me feel grimy.
