"A slim book of interconnected stories following a hapless drug addict nicknamed "Fuckhead." Humorous, dark, and moving, with prose that surprises with its drug fueled imagery."

"Kind of holy to me. Particularly A Perfect Day for Bananafish and Teddy. Every time I go to the ocean, I think of these two stories."

Ghost stories told by a master storyteller
Liz's stories are amazing! She does a great job of making you question if they are real or not. Her vocalization and timing are incredible. She does a great job of storytelling that makes you want to listen more, and possibly never ever go to Massachusetts.
  
I would give this 5 stars for the pictures and 2 stars for the writing.

I was really looking forward to reading this book. It looks simply adorable. I absolutely loved the pictures but the stories lacked a lot. The stories were poorly written and honestly, used the term "friendship" very loosely. I think that this had potential but I was not very impressed.
