The prose towards of the beginning of the book had me laughing out loud. The humor is quick and dry. The MMC and the side characters were so lovable and well-fleshed out. I was genuinely heart-broken a few times throughout the book and, maybe I’m just naive, but I didn’t see the plot twist coming at all. In fact, I had to stop and re-read when it happened because it was delivered in that same quick, dry way. The FMC did get a little unbearable at some points throughout the book but, honestly, it was pretty human. I was particularly interested in the power of narrative and how quickly we can pave the road to hell with our good intentions. Overall,, I’m glad I read this book.
