This book is hard to review, because I am pretty torn about how I feel about it. So I want to mention some key points about it:
1. It is hilarious. You will laugh, if not aloud at least in your head (and you will smirk while doing so).
2. The slight twist at the end was beautiful, and definitely the kind of ending this novel needed.
3.The protagonist is wonderfully crafted, and he really drives the whole novel the way good writing should.
The reason this doesn't get more stars:
Too much sex. I'm sure plenty of people out there are saying the exact opposite. To me, it seemed some parts were about building up to the next sex scene rather than building the character arc. This is Lyga's first adult novel, but he should know that adult does not mean sex.
I do hope he continues to write more for adults, because there is a lot to this book. You should read it, and you might like it more than me. I'm hoping he steps it up for his next endeavor. I'll be looking out for it.
