 I don’t even know what this was, man. John reconnects with his childhood friend Naomi and relives his nightmares from before. On some level, he feels he’s the same type of dirt Naomi’s older brother Chris was. Naomi has gone through obvious trauma at the hands of a horrid brother and abusive father, so she’s very blunt, insecure, and self-destructive. I try to read for enjoyment, but this story drained me. 

Listen, book I DON’T CARE about all the things and women who make John horny. There was nothing I liked about this book. Well, maybe the art style because it was cartoony.
