I really enjoyed the writing of this book, it was honestly hilarious. But the narrator is unbearable at times, racist, mean, uppity. But once her year of rest is fully up she’s suddenly a completely changed person? Idk…book was enjoyable, the writing was dark and humorous but reflective and deep. Narrator sucked though, 10/10 could not stand in real life lol.
