It’s like Curb Your Enthusiasm but substitute Larry David for a middle school boy. So unlikeable. So stressful. I had a good time though!

For very young readers, I feel like this one can wait until they’re more discerning and ready to learn about unreliable narrators. Not the best one to read out loud for story time!
