The entire point is how unlikeable the characters are in one way or another (or all ways in the case of some). So if you don’t like that then this will NOT be for you. It also offers a very nihilistic view of humanity and sexuality. However, I enjoyed it for whatever reason. I liked that it was different and written in train of thought.
