Review of 'Zero Stars, Do Not Recommend' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I went into this book thinking it would be a bit shallow and dry and more focused on humor. I was taken by surprise and hit in the feels.

From crying tears from laughing to wanting to smack the characters myself to wanting to cry with the protagonist, I went through all the emotions with this one. Get prepared for a literal rollercoaster.

This book is FUNNY. There isn’t a ton of spice and triggers aren’t simply pushed for the sake of shock. Every single scene, bit of text, and word serves a purpose. It is clear that a lot of heart, passion, and soul went into the making of this book.

I am so excited to see if this wonderful author publishes any more books in the future, as this one was a slam dunk for me. It changes my expectations for satire, comedy, and entertaining books in general.
