Well, I did know what I was getting into. I suppose that helps.

"ventrilo-American"

HUGE props to Mickolus for not just being funny and engaging but also knowing when to get serious.

"Cool stuff to see while finding parking" WHAT? XDDD

I get it, there's the odd typo or confusing quote that doesn't seem to end, but this guy also just dragged the American political right and I am OBSESSED.

Also what a relief it is to be enjoying a reading experience

"Unlike the private sector, where one's pay is treated as a state secret"

DAMN this book is funny!

Don't have ASTRONOMICAL hopes, per se, but I'm praying it will at least be easier than Marriage of a Thousand Lies

The sibling reunion is such a breath of fresh air

If I had a nickel for every book about Tamil weddings and funerals that even comes close to juxtaposing the two, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

...This is gonna be a fucking bummer isn't it?

Hoping like hell for a happy ending right now

ouch

The passage where Lucky impulsively buzzes her hair and then freaks out her family (called it btw) was strangely charming.

Also same haircut girlie!

I'm almost certain Lucky is clinically depressed. It doesn't excuse her behavior, but being in her head definitely gives me that vibe.

Also my rating has hovered around 1.5 for a while. I have a policy to cap a review when certain gross things happen in books bc I can't condone that shit. Plus everything is awful except for the passages about Sri Lanka, interestingly enough.

that chapter was rough...

there's under three hours left, I can do this

TWs for racism, attempted rape, and homophobia, bc once again, NOBODY WARNED ME GOING IN!!!

Not a single one of you warned about the attempted rape???
