The character settings are very novel: all three are drama queens who don't fall in love and are solely focused on causing trouble.

    Looking for someone else who was also scared by this book and dared not turn off the lights. *Chronicles of a Woman in Northern Myanmar: Escape from the Park*—The female protagonist accidentally enters a park in northern Myanmar and struggles to survive. First-person narration, no cheat codes, just ordinary people carving their own way out of dire circumstances. Which part made your back go cold? I'll start: the night the protagonist first "figured out the rules." Before that, I thought she could run away, but after that, I dared not fast-forward. (This isn't a comedy; I'm here to recommend something tense and exciting. Please don't hit me if you're reading a comedy!)

    A hilarious urban fantasy story! The character is based on my real-life friend, who has shifty eyes and a hooked nose. He claims to be a Cuban government-certified eggplant chef, machine gunner, secret agent, poet, composer, psychologist, philosopher, and political scientist… but he didn't actually do any of them 😂 Watching him boast and fail every day is like watching a series of episodes; it's a stress reliever without getting flustered or angry while following the story!
