*uni read

this book was pretty mid for a crime novel but as a lesbian erotica it was above average.

maybe i'm just not the right target audience or i thought it was going to be more within the crime genre (since we were studying it for our crime module) but it came off more about the protagonists complex relationships and the connection it had to the murder she was hired to investigate.

it was really page-turning and engaging at some points but overall i would only recommend this books if you're into erotic poetry with a hint of murder sprinkled in.

Did the gayest possible thing whilst reading this verse crime novella.
My girlfriend and I read it out loud to each other over the course of a few weeks. I think it improved the overall experience, as I don't think it would have been a satisfying read alone.
