There is so much to be said about this book that I do not even know where to begin.

While Monstrilio didn't take me on the journey I expected it to, it did fill me with endless emotions as it touched on love, loss, grief, and labels and expectations. This book spoke to me in a way I had not expected it to.

(Please look up the trigger warnings first, but....) go read Monstrilio!

I feel like complicated is a good word to describe this book. Not that it’s difficult to understand, there’s just a lot to think about. The characters are so complex imo and i really liked that. near the end my stomach was actually churning, which I was not anticipating. I love M.

I really enjoyed the concept but I think it lost the thread once the

kinky scenes started and the big jump happened…

This book had a great premise, and I really wanted to like it, but it felt under developed and like it was written in a fever dream or a bout of mania. It was a bit ”try-hard” that EVERY member of the family/character was lesbian, gay, or bisexual. There were also unnecessary/out of place sexual situations that didn’t add to the story.
