witty and colorful writing, def wasn’t a style i’ve read before. I didn’t find the book “laugh out loud” funny, but I saw it as the main character way of hiding behind her trauma and felt that it suited the book. All the weird characters and descriptions of the town and how it fit back into the main plot was really satisfying to read. This book having a different perspective on how we identify with and process trauma is enlightening.  Overall this was a fun read, while also made me introspective.
