Deeply unsettling in all the best ways. If you don’t enjoy unlikeable characters, you will not like this.

Interesting book. I enjoyed it and was in-between a 4 and 3.5 on this one. At the end of the day I chose the score I did because I believe the book wasn't as varied as it could have been. At times it felt a bit repetitive. That very well may have been the point but it didn't quit work on me fully. Still very funny at times with an interesting pov at the center.

I wanted to love this so bad. I usually love books about addiction and Chuck is one of my favorite authors so I figured this would be the perfect novel for me. I think that there was just way too much going on. It was hard for me to commit to one layer because there were so many layers. All of the twists were good and it definitely had the shock value of all Chuck novels. It was just a lot going on that didn’t really flow together in my opinion

I understand what the author was trying to do, I just don't think the execution was quite there. The book wasn't boring per se, but I wasn't really thoroughly entertained either (for the most part). I was often reading just to finish it. 

Major takeaway here:
buy quality butt plugs
