Thank you to Zibby Publishing for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I really wanted to like this. I thought the premise was funny, but I never connected with the characters. Bud comes across as a privileged middle aged divorced white man looking for “what it all means” after a massive misstep in which he posts his own obituary to the news wire. (High Fidelity did the whole searching for life’s big meaning better, honestly.) Perhaps I’m not the target audience for this book, though. It’s not badly written, it’s just not for me.
