Religion, sexuality, race, obesity, mental health... This author tried to tackle it all in one short book, and ends up doing more harm than good for some topics. Especially with how he was throwing the word 'crazy' around.
But the real frustrating part of this book is that it seems like the author was short on words so just pasted in half a dictionary. I guess it was meant as a sweet ritual between son in mother, but instead it just felt like an annoying disruption that pulled me out of the scene.
The ending was pretty good, but not worth the 75% leading up to it.
