3.5, really. I'm not sure how to feel about this book, which I wanted to love more than I actually loved. A lot of great things in this book, but something is a little off, so the story beats didn't hit me as deeply as they should.

Literally and unironically nightmarish. If I ever entertain the thought of having a kid, I hope someone will have the good sense and compassion to make me reread this book, at gunpoint if necessary. A great illustration of the perils of assuming the worst in people, but also, all of these people are the absolute worst. I recommend reading on a plane full of screaming children for maximum ambiance.

I don't think I've enjoyed a novel about the trials and tribulations of a disastrous family this much since Douglas Coupland's [b:All Families are Psychotic|3379|All Families are Psychotic|Douglas Coupland|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1405992884l/3379._SY75_.jpg|91467]. Kristen Arnett's writing is visceral, down to the most minute detail, characters are so acutely drawn you feel connected to them.

The premise sounded really interesting. The book wasn't. Literally nothing happens and the characters are severely underdeveloped. There were so many plot holes and it just like, wasn't a fun thing to read.
