First two stories were really good, SVU fic was kinda weird but had really some fun ideas/structuring, the others were decent but the writing style is a little heavy handed. Kinda a hit or miss but when the authors good she's amazing.
This book made me mad. Good mad, bad mad? Don't care anymore. Life is weird I do...

not bad, just didn't really appeal to me. i liked 'the resident' most i think
Bizarre, but it works. There were some stories I loved and some stories that I didn't understand because I'm a philistine. Still will recommend this and it will sit highly on my list of 2018 books. An excellent debut collection.

Dark, sensual and violent stories examining different aspects of feminity, extrapolated into vivid metaphors made real - from losing yourself in a relationship, the violence of diet culture, reconnecting with your inner child, or a wry unravelling of police prodecural tropes, these stories are a rich garden of unsettling imagery and gorgeous language.
