The social commentary of how our society works, specifically when it come to interpersonal relationships is really interesting, but it does leave room for the reader's thoughts imo.
As a queer person myself I found poignant specifically the discussion of relationships only existing for procreation, which is a line of thought that demonized anyone who doesn't conform, whether because they are an lgbtq+ relationship or because on of the two is infertile or cannot have biological children anyways. So that was cool, the book shows how wrong and toxic it is to be so strict with gender and sexual roles, and how that can lead to very disturbing delusions.
Enjoy the book! It's really good!
