I feel like “#Selfcare” is like an adult, queer, futuristic cousin of “Artemis Fowl” and I’m so here for it! The blend of magic fae, driven yet lovable characters, and scheming against Big Business just ticks some unexpected marks for me and I think Newitz has crafted something very special here. I’d LOVE to see more of this world!

A fantastic short story about what happens when you screw over certain people you shouldn't be screwing. There is also influencers, selfcare, making money, and plenty more! It was a bit spooky at times (given how the person looked and what they did). I loved the characters, especially Daisy I warmed up to as the story continued and I hope they have lots of fun opportunities. I loved the ending and I am so happy to see it end like this.
Fabulous cover btw!

The idea of Fae vengeance was simply irresistible, but the way the story developed leaves much to be desired. An interesting enough premise that pretty much goes nowhere, fizzling into a lackluster ending.
Bumping this up to three stars because I did like the budding friendship between Edwina and Daisy.

Short story about a couple working at a future beauty clinic, in a world where there may dubiously exist fae. Edwina's having to deal with a strange character causing havoc at the store. Compelling characters move the story along briskly.

Faeries in near future scifi isn't something I knew I wanted, but I'm glad I found it. Fun story that left me wanting more from this setting and characters.
