we loooooooooove Emily R. Austin!! she can do no wrong in my eyes and i will read EVERYTHING by her. everything. the main protagonist, Jane is a firecracker, but she's also deeply troubled. this book deals with heavy subject matter - drug abuse, alcohol dependency, self-mutilation, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, sexual assault and attempted suicide. it's dark but also funny. i weirdly enjoy stories that can make me laugh one minute and make me want to cry the next. this novella is going to stay with me for a long time. i couldn't sleep straight after finishing it because the ending was so intense ( )

This was a wild, wild story. Troubling, but so, so funny in places. Like laugh behind your hand so the gods don’t strike you down funny. And that ending. WOW! ( )
