A fast read, the pace was really propulsive. But, with that, some nuance that I would have enjoyed was missing. Really looking forward to the sequel.

self hating lesbians @ the men they serve are a CANCER. i truly hope they die. 

has nothing to say and saying that nothing badly. 

it was game over for common sense when misogynists of all flavours realized all they needed to do was insert ‘white’ in front of woman in order to get away with saying the most rancid, sexist, shit against women. bleak. 

just once, id like for these types of satirizing critiques to resist caricature and actually research the very thing they seem to want to deconstruct. but what did I expect from someone who claims that ‘’most waves of feminism have been terfy & eugenicist?’’ 😂 

hilarious—just loud and wrong. but there’s nothing i hate more than when people don’t do the reading yet try to posit themselves as authorities on a subject. 

& i didn’t care for the self serious way korn delivered this silliness either. writing was lacking, anemic, and boring. personally think that if an author can’t convey something about a character without the narrative coming to a screeching halt every single time, then maybe it’s time to go back to the drawing board.
