I do think the prose and framing narrative could use some work, and this book focuses more heavily on plot than character development, but I thought it was a fun read.

Minor: Addiction, Drug use, Body horror, and Death of parent
Most of the more troubling topics are part of the worldbuilding or characters’ pasts, not explicit parts of the story.persephonefoxx's review

To be a woman is to have your story misremembered. Discarded. Twisted.
There is something about the characters in this book that is almost addictive. With every new character introduced, I found myself more enraptured. Their personalities, their banter, their unique traits and intricacies.
Truly a masterclass in character building.

There were a few explicit scenes which I didn’t really care for and the book didn’t wow me with it’s plot hence not a five star (but I am stingy with 5*)
I would definitely read a sequel though!
Moderate: Sexual content
