Very poignant and thoughtful but also hilarious. Well structured and also just insanely well written. Half of the time you feel like you’re talking to a friend in crisis, and the other half you feel like you’re having a breakthrough in therapy. Absolutely unhinged in the best way possible.

5.0

I related a lot to the main character, both his best and worst qualities, and I think that impacted my enjoyment of the book a lot. I don’t know that this will be for everyone, I think there are a lot of people who will decided on the first page that this book isn’t for them. This book is a sex-filled journey with a truly loathsome man as he blows apart his life and then tries to rebuild it and there were times when I wondered if there was any redeeming him, for me there was, but not everyone is going to feel that way. However, if you like stories of personal growth, give this one a read.
