I-
I really don’t know what to do with myself at this given moment in time.

Yes, I’m writing this review, however, i am still staring at a wall fully contemplating life.

You know what I liked about this book, besides everything.  Is that it was unique, the storyline was like no other i've ever read and my god did I love it.  You can really tell the plot was souly written from pure imagination because lord this outshines every single damn book I’ve ever read.  I’d love to know what the inspiration was.  Really, someone please tell me.

If you're looking for some loving shit, this isn't your book, if you're looking to be mentally stable, get off my page.  With that being said, while there was no real love interest there are aspects of a relationship per se.  I say this because there is plenty mentions of pickles and the spice was spicing, obsessed... never been sweatier. 

I'm in love with our FMC Ashley, like, obsessed.  When she experiences the worst heartbreak of her life she makes it her end goal to kill off everyone responsible.  I really have no words for how i'd describe this book.  I wish Ashley wasn't as relatable as she is because damn I resonate with this girl and that really isn't a good thing.  She is genuinely hilarious but in the most realistic way possible, I need to be friends with this woman immediately.  Ashley was spontaneous but I loved how her personality continued throughout, I know this is basic but the type of person she was is so clear we didn't have any random personality changes, it was consistent and I ate it up. 

3/4 into the book I was really hoping there was a second book as there was no clear ending at all, and when the ending came it had me sitting up bolt straight and staring at a wall for a solid 10 minutes.  The plot twist was nuts and the amount of brain seizing mind fucks that were revealed in the epilogue is something I will never get over. 

Look in the nicest way possible, if you're looking for a book to turn your mind and stomach to slush then you're welcome, you've found it.  I really dont care what you were planning to read next, if this isn't your next read then what are you doing.  This was instantly a 5 star read for me and it could quite possibly be my favourite book of all time.  

It is 3:30am, my mind is in knots and I am unwell that there isn't another book to follow this one because whatever crack was sprinkled into this... I need more of it.  On that note, im off to bed, and you're off to read this book.
