The hype is indeed real with this book. I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did, and I didn’t expect it to hit me as deep as it did. It’s a dark comedy that focuses on grief and chaos and infertility and divorce and it is so brutally beautiful. I haven’t read a book that made me cackle one second and tear up the next like this one did. The characters feel like genuine people want to be friends with. And I can’t lie I was rooting for a certain pairing to happen. I really can’t recommend this one enough!!
