Solving all of your problems with violence & crime is a really good idea I think.
This book was kind of insane from start to finish, but I had a really fun time with it. I don't think any of the four main characters were particularly likeable, but I enjoyed disliking them so it evens out I think.
Simon, Lisha, & Ellis deserve better!
