Random notes and ideas I had:

- I enjoy the little nods to the reader, breaking the fourth wall but they felt random

- The changing in narrative style annoyed me. Some chapters, early ones, would be told with breaks between each characters different perspective but later on they would then just merge, but not seemingly for any reason and then it randomly switched back again near the end during a chapter but then switched back in that same chapter. It felt messy and like the editor hadn’t properly noticed. The story would have ran better if it followed a similar story telling style. 
- I much more enjoyed marshas storyline and what she got up to, wish that was what the book focused on. I found the chapters with the other characters dragged and weren’t useful, but I get how they’ll work for a film adaptation, and they add tension. 
- I really enjoyed how sometimes randomly we’d hear inside random characters minds or thoughts. 
- The storyline nearing the end felt very messy, introduced so many random characters and honestly was a little disappointing. I sort of enjoyed how the big fight moment literally ended so quick and there was no tension. 
- Marsha was an amazing lead character and really pulled the story together. I love how even when she started to tell the truth, she reverted back to lies at the last minute.
- The storylines about bouncers and rimmers were quite interesting as they clearly tackled the themes of minorities and marginalised groups but in a more comical crazy way that showed that as a society we can accept one thing but not another
- The book was so very John Waters, it was completely absurd and at times lacked an actual plot line and instead just added things for shock value. It felt very much so like a film of his. I think it will translate well to screen. The absurdist style with no proper plot maybe doesn’t appeal to me but I still enjoyed this mish mash splodged together story with lots but so little to say. It was just quite stupid, and I loved that.
