Loved this! It was so funny and sapphic and the artwork was interesting. I love the storytelling narrative where the narrator acts like the reader is living in the same world and understands references and things and the footnotes were so funny. I’m just still confused on who the narrator is supposed to be, I probably need to reread more to catch what I missed, and it seemed a little long and dragged out at times.

I have such a love and hate relationship with this book. I love the writing style and the language, by God, I truly do. I’m also amazed at this book for being my first book with polyamorous characters in it! I’m personally aroace and find it at times very discomforting (a lot of horny-ness), but loved the ending! Sometimes, one of the characters get so fecken annoying and edge-lordy, but I’m glad I decided on reading through. I’d recommend this to people who like long books with hella queerness in it.
