Sorry that half of this review is essentially spoilers for the plot but there were some plot points I felt needed to be addressed deeper and to combat those ideologies. This is the authors first book so I’m interested to see what others she releases in the future.

Short chapters, very funny. I listened to it, which went really quick (6.5 hrs), and was ready by the author. Don't be a Jolene and tip your drivers.

i highly recommend listening to the audiobook. guns delivers a fantastic performance, barreling off the page and into the stark reality that this book aims to confront. there is lasting significance in guns social commentary that seems particularly poignant today amidst our current political atmosphere and the global call for a ceasefire in gaza.

Anyway, what I'm getting at is I think I would've liked the book even more if I'd been able to pay better attention to it because it moves fast and is fairly disjointed, making it easy to miss key parts or lose track of what's going on if you try to passive-listen to it.
