Look, this book is a mess. It's chaos, ridiculous, immature, a bit problematic in more than one way, stream-of-conscious-like-rambling, and I loved it.
This book is not for everyone. I'm honestly surprised it was for me. I watched the movie first, loved it for some reason, so I read the book, couldn't put it down and the rest is history. No I will not try to explain or defend myself. 😆

*Reread (listened) 4 years later. Adding trigger warnings:
- Slurs (a lot of the R-word throughout; a few/multiple N-words; a few homophobic and a few ableist slurs)
- So many bodily fluids. All of them...
- Brief instance of animal abuse described towards the end of Book 2
- Physical bullying and abuse (described, in the past)
- Violence, gore, nudity... (as expected in any horror/comedy horror... not for the faint of heart)
