OH MY GOD. I haven't laughed like this in a long time. I listened to the audiobook and had to pause so many times because it was nearing midnight and I needed to surpress my laughter. At some point I was even crying from laughter.

This book is absolutely ridiculous and unhinged and unserious and I LOVED it. When you don't think it can get any more ridiculous, it does. Some plottwists I saw coming (and was delighted when they were correct), others were absolutely not.

I think I might have a new all time favorite.
