Not my favorite Palahniuk book
"Breakfast Club" meets Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret in hell. Madison is/was the 13 year old daughter of a famous Hollywood couple when she died of mysterious circumstances. Madison initially thinks she died of a marijuana overdose but slowly her memories become clearer. Meanwhile she is in a "Breakfast Club"-esque hell with a jock, princess, etc. She works as a telemarketer calling living people during dinnertime with annoying consumer polls about toothpicks and whatnot.
