Deeply, intoxicatingly weird. Charming, visceral, at times painful, but totally worth it. A beautiful exploration of human emotion and a refreshingly utopian take on the "alien apocalypse". Highly highly highly recommend.
Graphic: Grief and Abandonment
Minor: Animal death and Animal cruelty
This book focuses HEAVILY on the grief of losing a loved one (who does not die, but is very much gone for good). There is also a brief (less than one page) description of a woman eating small fish alive- it is framed as disturbing.popsicleplease's review against another edition

"… very odd really enjoyed the beginning but went off the rails. But still I would take messy gay sci fi over better heteronormative misogynistic sci fi "
I wasn't doing really good while reading this and the story is quite depressing. There are a lot of good ideas but for me these did not connect. After a strong start the story got more messy by the chapter and the ending seemed kind of unfinished. I had hoped for more world building and deeper character development.
Kind of sad cause I was excited about a trans* protagonist without trans being THE problem - which was the case - but the story did not catch me.
