This was such a fun read and the length of each chapter made it so easy to break it into short reading session, but I always wanted to keep reading. Caitlyn Doughty is hilarious and definitely a new favorite author for me. I looooved this book and I learned a lot of fun facts that make people go, “how do you know that….?” 10000/10, favorite book I read last year by far and I’d recommend this to anyone with a little morbid curiosity.
