This book is an exploration of grief, emotional imbalance and fear. It’s incredibly funny in a dark sarcastic way that makes it more palatable and easier to deal with, in that way is believable because personally, dark humor and sarcasm are my preferred coping mechanism. I related to this book and it felt like I was the one going through.
I will be reading it again because I don’t think it’s the kind of book that can be read once and shelved.
