Every time Jane broke the 4th wall and talked to the reader was my favorite thing. This book is so sarcastic and funny. The ending could have used a little more (i.e. any) dialogue - it sort of felt like Jane was getting sick of writing about them and just summarized the basic events of the ending in a couple of pages. But overall I thoroughly enjoyed this. Very underrated.
