Absolutely hilarious!

Izzy is probably one of the best characters ever. Sheโ€™s laugh-out-loud funny, mixes feminism and dry wit, and doesnโ€™t let anything get her down. She is the kind of person everyone wishes that they could be.

I was giggling at this book from start to finish. I love that although Izzy ends up in some pretty bad situations, she never loses her sense of humour.

I love that the author does manage to be serious about the issues of slut-shaming and bullying while keeping the story educational. It shows the effects of slut-shaming on a teenager and how bullies can affect a personโ€™s mental health while at the same time staying very light even though it is full of honesty.

The novel sticks by reality and nothing that happens is beyond what can happen in real life. It is painfully honest and truthful.

I absolutely loved this. It was brilliant and one of the best books Iโ€™ve read this year. You NEED to read it!

    Todd Haynes's films are intricate and purposeful, combining the intellectual impact of art cinema...

As bleak, jaundiced, and jet-black of a comedy as we've gotten in quite some time - this would make a perfect double feature with ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜™๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ˆ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ or any of LaBute's other riveting provocations. But unlike even those others, this somehow manages to also have some sort of a happy ending? This really is fantastic; a well-rounded, bizarre, humorous (if not always consistently hilarious), completely solitary curio and a cleaner/better example of a woman flourishing in the knocking down of the toxic men in her life than ๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ณ. Not to mention it has a surprisingly positive view of women in general without resorting to that insulting, disingenuous T-shirt-ready brand of corporate faux-feminism that stagnates the pond in many of today's films of the sort. Cast is insanely good, legit one of Freeman's best performances and Kinnear isn't too far behind. LaBute really was something, God could you imagine if comedies could still get screenplays like this, sell big, and be in awards contention?
