The plot must be what it feels like to have bad ADHD.
This book tries so hard to be offbeat that it feels like chaos for chaos’s sake. There are too many plotlines, too many eccentric characters, and too many random scenarios that don’t quite come together. It’s as if the author had a list of quirky ideas and crammed every single one into the story. While some moments are amusing, the lack of focus made it a frustrating read.
