There are many books out there that boast laugh-out-loud hilarity, but I have found that not many actually deliver on that promise. Well, this one does! I did laugh out loud—it's genuinely funny, chaotic, and features very amusing dialogue and commentary. It's a joy to behold, with likable characters, a great narrative, and fast-paced storytelling that never lulls. It makes The Hangover look like an amateur stag night organized by nuns! With a wonderfully heartwarming ending.
