Helpful Score: 1


An expletive-heavy black comedy of two down-and-out women, Dolores and Serena, who can't help but get into trouble. The narrator, Dolores (also known as "Crazy D"), rules. The most fun I had reading a book in a long, long while. Others have used the word "entertaining" and I agree. Keep in mind, you need to be okay with dirty language, heavy drug use, and elements of BDSM. But it's meant as satire, not to be taken seriously. I highly recommend this book.
