After reading this book I am going to make my new years resolution to read the synopsis of each book before I read it - because I went in blind on this one and was just not prepared.
I was definitely entertained before getting 50% of the way through the book, but pretty much as soon as you hit the half way point everything is (to put it delicately) intimate and weird.
To be honest, I skimmed the spicy parts because they didn't make much sense, and the random "uncle Jake's" grossed me out.

The characters are vibrant and unique. The story is well planned and so comfortable to fall in to. I read this book in a single day because it sucked me in so fully. I didn't want to put it down. The scene setting is vivid and vibrant, the story is relatable to a degree. There are some heavy topics but there is also a large dose of humor on an adult level and I appreciated that so much. I found myself laughing out loud and talking to no one in particular when certain things happened. By the end of the book I was crying for multiple reasons.
It was, from start to finish, a journey that you find yourself captivated by. I don't know why I'm surprised I loved Punk 57 and Penelope delivers even better in this book. If I ever start to do rereads (because I don't typically), I will pick up this book. I could see myself enjoying the ride again and again. If you can handle the content, read. this. book. I would definitely give it four out of five chili peppers for spice if that's not your thing then I wouldn't recommend it. Again though, absolutely five stars. Period.
