I pretty much blind brought this book after a recommendation from my local book guy, and I have to say this is right up my alley!
Joan was unhinged and so weird. This book was bleak and dreadful and weird but so funny and real, i have to say it was almost perfect
I was promised murder and a disturbing read and that's exactly what i got but
Also?? Talk about being such a huge tease? I generally felt like cuck reading this from the way she kept teasing that she'll murder someone but doesn't actually so it. Tf. So relatable tho!!
Apart from the pregnancy and the whole motherhood thing, this book would've been a perfect and solid 5 star read
Overall, I'm sorta but also really happy to have read this book!
