Big Swiss is the unlikeable story of an unlikeable woman who commits identity fraud to sleep with another unlikeable woman, and then other bad things happen.

It's good, but in a repulsive way. I found myself muttering "urgh" to myself every few pages, and yet going to the next page to know what was going on.

Disgusting and fascinating, this book had the effect of a zit popping video.
