Wow! Did not see the absurdity coming from the look of the cover or the name of the book. A really wild and hilarious story that is also dark and deeply thoughtful at the same time. It's ultimately hopeful, but takes on very heavy mental health themes.
Moderate: Terminal illness, Suicidal thoughts, Pregnancy, Suicide attempt, Suicide, and Mental illness
Minor: Lesbophobia
