This book is terrible and I couldn’t wait for it to be over.
If I have to think about how many times the author said “her/their/his brows furrowed” they’ve probably used that phrase too many times. Also, too many uses of the word beat - he paused for a beat, she was quiet for a beat, it was a beat until… please, somebody get this person a thesaurus. 

Felt like it was written by a high schooler from the tacky descriptions of the characters, the terrible pacing, and the desperate attempt at wokeness. And this is coming from a woke lesbo - too much.

Still, giving it two stars because I liked the idea of lesbian girlies eating trash men. A shame it didn’t meet my expectations but someone else might like it.

re: diversity, the characters are textually diverse, but it's one of those situations where functionally they all feel very white. it didn't really bother me, and the main pairing is queer, but it's one of those hard to quantify situations.

i really enjoyed this, though! it was a bit lighter and more fun than dry, which i read last year, because it's happening post-disaster, but the two are pretty similar.
