I stopped right at the last story. Wow. Reading this felt like a boring chore I had to get through. There was so much rambling I had to skim through a lot of parts.
What I disliked the most about this book was that all the stories were the same. Same main character, same parents that hated each other and blamed each other for their misfortunes, same frustrations, same brother, same voice, same same same.
I liked the first story and that’s probably why I’m giving it the one star. But then you keep reading and nothing changes. The language and the details get more vulgar. Details of things I don’t really care to know and I feel we’re just put in there for shock value.
The whole book felt apathetic, sarcastic, distant, cold and boring. Despite this, I’d still want to read something else from this writer bc I see the potential for an incredible book somewhere in here.
