I tore through this. A complex female protagonist with unmanaged trauma and a tendency towards the bisexual? Count me in!
This was such a funny portrait of a place and the fucked up people that try to run away to that place and what running away gets you. We all end up in our own shit and either rot or deal. I was grateful to watch these characters grow and try to deal and struggle and overcome. Good book.
