5.0

I was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster this took me on. The first 150 are funny, lighthearted in a way that is morbid given the situation. The last 20 pages ruined me and now I want to throw a pie at someone. Definitely contains outdated and prejudices that are uniquely 80s, but apart from that I can’t fault it.
