3.5

The concept of this book was absolutely insane. It felt as close to reality as possible, especially the characters and their reactions but there was something about it that just didn’t click with me. I think I’m more drawn to characters that embrace unrealistic behaviour, and dive head-first into these ridiculous situations. I guess I just lean into the fantasy of it all… (or maybe it was just the entire plot being based around him needing his wife)

and a little spoiler but
when the jason’s started multiplying it took me by surprise, but I did enjoy that element.
