A pretty decent book that is very VERY graphic - like needing to shut the book at look away with my mouth open graphic. My feelings on the book are a bit complicated and I found myself disagreeing with both major characters at times. The ending is drastically different to the majority of the book but in a good way which is vague but the only way I can describe it.

I found the characters highly problematic. I skipped pages 150-275. The last 15 pages redeem  half a star.

I quite enjoyed this book, but think it is marketed as kinda a fun raunchy adventure, when in fact it is quite dark.
