Whisterpoop is the second in a series slice of life comedy(ish) novel by R. J. Corgan. Released 9th Sept. 2023, it's 189 pages and is available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free. The first book in the series, Whisterpoop, is also currently available on KU.
The style is a bit frenetic and thoroughly whimsical would be a moderately good description. The main character is irascible, disinclined to be helpful (including toward her own family), and facing imminent retirement with one element on her bucket list; "get a life".
There are humorous moments, and the book overall is enjoyable and, potentially uplifting for readers (especially over middle age, who will sympathize with Karen's kvetching).
Despite being the second book in a series, it works perfectly fine as a standalone.
Three and a half stars. Worth a look for a short, light read. This author also has an exceptionally clever and engaging campy academic mystery series featuring a field geologist which is -very- well written and worth chasing down.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
