This book is f*cking unhinged.

Be prepared for a type of psychopathy that you never knew existed.

It's funny, it's self-aggrandizing, it's smart yet belittling, it's a parody of intersectionality, I think?

Honest to God what the hell did I just read.

More more more, gimme more!

I quite liked it! There were some points of the plot that felt a little lazy but the story kept me guessing and the audiobook was fire.

That ending tho.

But why am I crying? 😭

You can tell Mark isn't a professional writer but man, is this guy a storyteller. I loved that this book doesn't feel like gossip- just a pretty reflective recollection of Mark's life. I loved the recurring themes, the humor and of course, the punk rock 🤘.

I think the author tried to make this quest to stop the wedding as noble as they could out of concern for Puck's friend but like it just didn't land that way. it all seemed really superficial rather than a genuine "I'm concerned for you".

for how forward thinking this book is, it certainly has major sensitivity blindness. inviting someone who is supposedly your best friend who is in recovery on a party bus where you suggest everyone play a drinking game is ultimate cringe.

that being said there are some really insightful parts to Puck's character and I liked the overall menace and Fool figure adaption from BillyShakes.
