At the beginning, this book reminded me of Real Life, wherein all of the characters are totally hateable and do a lot shitty things to each other.

This book is absolutely like that too, but as it comes together, you start to see that, yeah, they're all total fucking dicks, but also, they all have redeeming qualities and there are little nuggets of gold. In the end, I just felt sad for everyone. 

I feel like I hate the content of these books, but I can't bring myself to hate the books themselves? Like, big ups to the authors for writing about the absolute worst qualities of people.
