Alright so this book really pissed me off. It started off great; it was really funny and informative, their stories are relatable and they seemed like very down to earth people (I’ve never listened to the podcast, for context). I really liked it! But about 40% of the way through, not sure what changed but the jokes started getting less and less appropriate. I’m all for dark humour and making light of situations, but joking about child sexual assault is not even a little bit funny and should not be done unless you are a CSA survivor and use humour to cope. This happened multiple times throughout the book. Not ok. There was also a section that really got under my skin, when one of them was talking about polyarmory. She said something along the lines of being able to understand pedophiles because they can’t control what’s in their brain, but she can’t wrap her head around someone’s ability to love more than one person at a time. What the actual fuck? I understand she’s entitled to her own opinion; if she doesn’t understand polyamory then that’s fine, she doesn’t have to. But to say that being a pedofile is more normal than being poly is an absolutely disgusting statement to make. I almost DNF’d right then but I was so close to the end that I made myself finish.

So that’s my rant. This book is genuinely funny, so I wouldn’t not recommend it. But be aware that you’re in for some really inappropriate jokes if you do read it
