I don't want to say too much because I want you to read it. I will say it Has a Part at the End. When I was done reading the Part I closed the book and hit it five times against the wall. It damn near killed me. You will see.

This was ok and then the last 80 pages were really good

One of those books that I highlight until the pages become watercolor paintings. A dreamy winding account of the author's young adulthood with vivid flashes of lucid existential clarity. Lulled me into amused complacent spectatorship only to knock me off my feet into a chasm of truth again and again.

Transformative, funny, self-aware, pretentious in the best way, tough, intimate, uninhibited….I could literally go on forever. Words in their purest and lesbian-est form. Allows you to feel the art of poetry and of being queer from the inside.

Almost hard to read because it expresses many facets of identity that I also experience.
