Okay, so the funniness is gone. Not that it’s not entertaining anymore, because it is, but a book that prides itself on “making every adult laugh out loud” I feel like it should at least keep making me blow air out my nose—which it isn’t. I also literally can’t seem to give one (1) single shit about any of these characters, I don’t know. Kind of a let-down to be honest.

It’s good writing-wise and rather engaging… don’t really know what else to say. It’s hard to be impressed when the last thing one read was The Perks of Being a Wallflower (which was just wow!) I like the characters and feel like they’re realistic; nothing revolutionary, though. Ah, but it did make me giggle several times so far!
