Wow, I've certainly never heard of a book like this before! I like that the writing style makes such an unlikely book shine. Great review!

Thank you for your thorough analysis of the book.
Brexit is one of many things that the author refers to. It's about the manner of how they are discussed. It's hilarious :) If you're looking to learn more about the Brexit, this book probably won't be the one that would contain the most information. But I recommend it purely for its comedic properties :lol:

Thank you for stopping by! :)

To be fair, it took me about half of the book to stop thinking 'wth' :lol: It's one of those where you keep on thinking 'what on earth?!...' but cannot get enough of :lol: So I empathise with you not knowing what to make of it :)

And thank you! :)

The cover's design is great in my opinion and it shows that humorous aspect of the book. I wonder how a love story will emerge from this situation. I'm curious to read it now. Thanks for the insightful review! Great job!
I am glad it made you curious :) I'd be very pleased to hear somebody else's who had read it opinion and impressions of this book :)

Thank you! :)

I think that is a great word to describe it - unpredictable! :)

And thank you :)
