Disappoint Me

4.22 AVERAGE


noooot sure how I feel about this one but it was compelling enough for me to read in one sitting. alienating stuff after uhhhh family abolition lmao 

also it's like wow some people have experiences of being trans and queer in their thirties that are COMPLETELY unrecognisable to me and my experience. another planet. which sometimes I enjoy getting to look at but sometimes is also: Aaaah

I’m usually not one for literary fiction, but I really enjoyed this. Lots of humor interplayed which made getting to know the characters enjoyable, and also when seeing their flaws made me feel conflicted on how I would react if I was in their shoes.

DID NOT FINISH: 39%

I wanted to like this more, but it reads like the Crazy Rich Asians for disaffected millennial techies, but updated with liberal guilt and disillusionment.
