This started out super funny and addictive, got a little too smutty and then surprisingly moving right at the end. Such a weird book but tremendously entertaining - I'd like more like this! Also hard relate to this feeling of just wanting to be accepted and loved without any conditions or restrictions. I was pleased with the "happy" ending in this one.

"More than anything, all I'd ever wanted was a total embrace, the embrace of an infinite mother, absolute and divine. I wanted to lose the edges of myself and blend with a woman, enter the amniotic sac and melt away. I wanted a love that was bottomless, unconditional, with zero repercussions.
[...]
Even those women whose mothers loved them unconditionally, that love too had an end. Still I wanted it. I wanted a love contingent on nothing finite. I wanted a love without end. Everyone was always saying you had to give it to yourself. Self-love, self-love. What did that even mean?"
