"Happiness never made anyone less stupid."

A post apocalypic world, a scavenger travelling through it with her amorphous squid-like monster sidekick.... I liked the description of this book it sounded like it would be right up my alley, but found it very confusing and difficult to follow along with the plot and struggled through the slow pacing. I ended up having to kind of skim through it and find scenes that I enjoyed and then skim again once my interest was lost. There is a lot of random world building that is interesting but not really elaborated on in a satisfying way.
