This was the perfect thrill ride to pull me out of my reading slump. Once I started, it was difficult not to read the rest.

I've never read a book like this before. It was so funny, and yet... so intriguing. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys watching and/or making fun of The Bachelor. It was such a good read!

Moderate: Homophobia

Minor: Alcoholism, Abortion, and Child abuse

There's some pretty bloody, gruesome stuff. The car accident happens off screen but we get a pretty detailed description of the aftermath. Some characters make homophobic comments, but it doesn't happen too often. There's a mention of abortion. A character is an alcoholic, but they're not a main character. I think the child abuse mention is just the once, but it's off screen and in the past.
