Don't. Just save yourself the time and just go straight to therapy.

It's like the writer took the most absurd things she could think of & threw them together in this grotesque mess of words.

This is not being queer. Please don't think that this is it.

Also would love to call the RSPCA for that poor dug.

I wish I could give this minus stars. The quarter star is for Vivienne and Vivienne only.

As a lesbian, this book is full of the most fucked up bullshit I have ever read in my entire life. There is so fucking much wrong with these characters. I'm pretty sure Sasha has about a million personality disorders that she refuses to acknowledge and get help for, instead behaving like the most toxic ass bitch I have ever read about in my entire life.

I'm also very much wondering where she gets the idea that she's a gold star lesbian (an outdated as fuck term imo) when she also mentioned sucking dick in the park after dark, identifies as "straight for butches," and keeps calling Jesse her boyfriend, NOT TO MENTION that Jesse is expressed as wanting testosterone but it being too expensive (and thus, identifying as trans? Making Sasha bisexual at best?)

And then that fucking livestream between Jesse and Darcy? For fucks sake, if I could somehow erase these images from my fucking brain I would give just about ANYTHING. I did NOT need to read that. At all.

What the fuck was up with that "can i come inside" bullshit too????? Some r@pe kink shit.

Also, a list of the extensive and healthy meals the dog gets from her owners:
- eye goop from her own eyes
- eye goop from her owners' eyes
- diabetic cat food
- a raw meatball (with herbs)
- a meatball baked in sauce
- leftovers from a plate

Not once did I see them give Vivienne dog food. Not. Once.

And then there is the constant, blatant fatphobia. Not just towards the women, no, towards the DOG too. Jesus fucking Christ.

Idk where this author got all these ridiculous ideas, but again, as a lesbian, none of this shit is true for most of the lesbians I know. Literally none of it.

The main character is insufferable. I do not think I enjoyed this book but I also couldn’t put it down. This is the type of book only lesbians should read because I do not want any straight person mistaking these characters as good people or accurate representations of butch/femme dynamics. These are the messy antics I’d expect of 20 year old newly out lesbians, not grown ass adults. Confusing read overall, unclear if it’s self aware or not.

I have no idea what this was about. Maybe I was not the target audience, but it feels very pretentious and a lot of words to say not a lot. And honestly, I am kinda sad because I was looking forward to it.

I did enjoy the weird gore/porn bit. And I really liked the expanse of lesbians displayed; the 6 main characters show a huge range of what a lesbian can be and the nuances within our community. He/him lesbians, non-binary lesbians, lesbians who have had top surgery!! All valid lesbians and all so important to be recognised.

this book gave me whiplash in the best way ahahaha. such a weird/quirky and introspective take on queer and lesbian relationships that feels painfully real at times. this book brought out my insecurities as a queer femme but also validated them at the same time?? jenny fran davis is a queen, i need to read more of her work STAT.

Maybe I didn’t get the humor but I do not understand why everything about this book says it’s funny. I felt like it was an interesting psychological examination of the main character and then all of a sudden there was pretty graphic sexual masochism and I was like cool, nothing in the recs I read mentioned this. Just not what I’m personally looking to read about.
