Too real but also a little surreal, it gave me an existential crisis but in kind of a good way? I didn’t fully hate the feeling.
Never thought I’d read a book that could simultaneously give me and existential crisis about aging and life but also make me laugh (in the figurative sense) at MULTIPLE fart jokes. I can’t remember reading another book that mentions farts in a non cringy way.. or at all.
Fart counter: 2 — which isn’t a lot but more than expected for sure.
