I found this one strange…I have to admit, had I not been recommended it and known there was a movie made from it, I might not have finished it. Quite a journey to get where it’s going but still a unique story line!

Listened to this on audiobook. Kept me entertained and wanted to know what happened next. Honestly, none of the characters are very likable because of how screwed up they are, but it felt real and raw in that way. It does put you in the mindset of someone struggling with alcohol abuse, so it could be triggering for some people. The twist was both predictable and surprising in some ways.

It was a quick read but honestly not very enjoyable. Took forever to set up the characters and they were still pretty unbelievable. Glad I read it since so many others read it but all in all there are much better out there.
