Wow! Did not see the absurdity coming from the look of the cover or the name of the book. A really wild and hilarious story that is also dark and deeply thoughtful at the same time. It's ultimately hopeful, but takes on very heavy mental health themes.

I was prepared for a sad book and I stead ended up laughing. This cast of characters was so lovable!  Every member of that unlikely group had their own issues to work through and their own funny and sad quirks and motivations. 
I absolutely LOVE the format of this book. Part transcript part 2nd person part 3rd. I felt like someone was filling me in on a story while we both try to figure out what happened.
A wonderful book all around.
