I wish it didn't rely on shock value all the time, both for sex scenes and how everything is described. Strangely slow pace.

A brutal look into how easily TERFs could spread their rhetoric, and just how far they really wish to take it. The horror in the violence and gore was explicit, yet somehow this book kept some levity. After all, what do we have if not the small pleasures and each other? Imagining how JKR died a horrid death was fun.

This book is so devastatingly good. I don’t even have the words now to talk about it, but if it gets me to hold back tears in the break room at work, you know it’s good.

Beautiful. Awful. Real. Intense. Romantic. Devastating. Tear my heart out and eat it good.

I genuinely was 20 pages away from finishing this book, but couldn't get myself to do it. I should have DNF-ed it halfway through, but hate doing that.

The idea for the book is good and the premise of it is good, but it is not executed well, at all. The characters were impossible to connect with beyond sharing similar labels as a queer person myself. The descriptions of characters and settings were confusing and lackluster and I couldn't keep up with the constant switching of POV's. 

Also, what exactly was the point of all those random sex scenes? I love smut, but come on now. 

Unfortunately, an exhausting read.

I almost seemed to lose interest right when the plot started to unravel. There’s just a bit too much going on in the end there. It feels over complicated for no good reason.
