this was great and the ending was fun! i missed some deeper commentary on gentrification at the end, and it didn't speak to me quite as viscerally as motherthing, but i loved it nevertheless!

Until you've read this, you simply won't get how it feels to have captured the fear of what it is to be a woman. This had me in tears, laughing and reflecting non stop on what our experience is like. But not in the way where it throws it in your face, in the way where you go, "yep, that's just it really".
The characters are so humanely flawed and it was a joy to read, I loved the commentary on sex work and the normalisation of fear on every day life. This book had me raptured and I loved it.
