I don’t know who said this book was funny. I would not describe it as that. It has humorous moments for sure, but on the whole this is not an “extremely funny” book.
I loved it and I think you should read it.

I like that there isn't any perfect character.
I love Martha and could understand (though I discourage it) how she self-sabotaged, and I only knew that she was doing it near the end. I could relate to her so much that I did not realize she was self-sabotaging. Or until Patrick pointed it out.
I love Ingrid and how she was so real for what she had to say about her marriage.
I love Patrick and how he isn't trying to be the nicest guy on earth. He's just... Patrick. He is a good person (a very kind one, actually), and that's enough for him. He acknowledges that he was wrong but he also doesn't try to belittle or diminish his suffering.
And I love every other character too.
You're the same as everybody else. But that's harder for you, isn't it. You'd rather be one or the other. The idea you might be ordinary is unbearable.
Geez, Patrick.
