This was a fun and fast read. There's a lot to unpack about self worth and human nature but in a sort of sardonic way. Dan and Mara were completely relatable and the cast of secondary characters were great as well.

Even though I have to lead the discussion tomorrow at work I decided to DNF The Wager and start the tagged instead. I think Rolo approves this decision (in the background).
Husband: “you shouldn‘t bother reading that book…they‘ve already given you its rating…0 stars” 🤣
I can‘t remember how this got on my radar, but it was a readily-available ebook through my library and past-me had marked it “saved” so I just figured that the worst-case-scenario was I could just tap “return” if it didn‘t work for me. Alas, I loved the first line and just went along for the ride! Witty and dark and a little over the top, but unique enough and paced in a way I could get on board with. A good conversation starter, to boot! 3.5⭐️
