Some of this I really enjoyed - there are phrases and sentiments that made me pause and reread. But I really didn’t like the format so much. It could have been part of the point the author was making, a device to explore how uncomfortable it can be it exist outside the societal ‘norms’ of desire - how scary and disorganised it feels to wade into something that looks so much like a rhyming couplet that you’ve been told you want and is inherently the same but ultimately queered. I think that’s clever and beautiful, but it made for cryptic reading and kind of annoying half rhymes. Overall a good read and exploration of sexuality, selfhood and love as a mirror, but the execution was grating at times.

It felt very Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado- which is one of my favorite reads the year I read it but also made my cry a LOT and was triggers. This one felt similar and couldn't finish. Didn't want to force myself to relive that.
