If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. This book was absolutely incredible. It's the only book I've read in a very long time where I've actually stopped and laughed out loud for real. Any kiwis out there, you absolutely have to read this book, it has so many references to shit that's so specific to NZ and it's amazing. Also, it's so queer, it's incredible. It's making me want to go out and be even more of a lesbian than usual. 
Also, there's a list of characters at the start of the book, and that shit was goddamn lifesaving. It made it so much easier to follow, for I am a dumbass who can't remember who anyone is.
