- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
3.0
This book feels very queer without being explicitly queer. You can definitely see parallels in Sally’s life to many who identify as queer. Not feeling comfortable where they come from or the roles they fill in society. Having people who accept them no matter what. And those were some of the few things I liked about this book.
I also liked being to explore other holiday worlds and see what life is like in those.
I didn’t really like the plot or how slow the story felt. It took almost two thirds of the book for the plot to really get going, and the climax was incredibly underwhelming.
Also, slight spoilers for the very end of the book.Dr. Finklestien deserves a worse punishment than 100 years of community service for all the abuse he put Sally through over the years.
