5.0
My bar for a funny book has skyrocketed after reading this. However, it still dealt with mature themes of death, addiction, and adult sibling relationships in a way that felt natural. Props for healthy polyamorous rep. Perfection.
Graphic: Death of parent and Grief
Moderate: Addiction, Car accident, Homophobia, and Suicidal thoughts
