This reads like a 14 year old watched Fight Club and said “yeah, I can do that!”
Except Logic was a 29 year old adult man when this released. It has none of the nuance any of the influences on this book contain and, frankly, borders on the offensive with the way mental health issues are used as the main driving element of the plot.
I did enjoy reading it, I must admit. It’s fast paced, funny at times, extremely cringeworthy at others.
Honestly, it’s worth a read if you go in expecting a ridiculous read of someone trying to be serious and completely falling flat.
