Confession: I bought this entirely for the cover 😁
Kippy has a distinctive, at times cringe-inducing, personality, and her fellow Friendship, WI residents are no different. Hale leans into these almost caricature-like types to create much of the book's sharp, dark comedy. It wasn't laugh-out loud funny for me so much as inducing wry eyebrow raises, and this is certainly not recommended for the easily offended.
