This was so invigoratingly alive and populated with such perfectly imperfect bunch of individuals. Uproarious, tragic, wry, spiteful, needy, compassionate... a gosh darn gorgeous human farce! With not a dull moment.

Has to be added to favorites; I so wish there was more of this!

"Binny asks Edmund if there would be any way Edmund would consider beating him up a bit."

And then there are Binny's and Edmund's escapades <3 And 'Lie-Lie' - oh, no! Gosh! I'm so in love with these characters. Sweet and nasty and tragic and fierce and oh, so humanly flawed.

So real, rich and satiric. I wish I didn't need to get some sleep... this feels like one of those you wouldn't care to end at all.

*hahaha* I can't with this level of satire. Fierce! I'm giggling all the way through.

"My favourite hymn. That’s a toughie. “Bohemian Rhapsody,” maybe?"

"How and why would a pop star lock herself in some pansy boy who smells like piss? Wouldn’t the rest of Fleetwood Mac notice?"

"Now I’ve got my gayandlesbian grandkid scratching at the door like a raccoon. Christ, I’m the one that should’ve been aborted."

My goodness, I am adoring this! These characters are everything!

The Teresa and Jocelyn introduction chapter *argh* Oozing toxicity.

Whole of Binny's quirky sass and 'diva realness'! Edmund seemingly in love with everything that loves him back *ha*

Loving, loving, loving all of this.

(And after the ferocious Binny/Lila encounter, am very intrigued for a possibly Binny/Joel meeting).

Yeah... I'm all into it from the very first chapter. Perfectly frank and human and spontaneous.
