What a book. What a twisted and impossible feeling book. It’s a book that plays so well into tropes yet also picks the worst kind of queer women to exaggerate and languish through.
I know women like this, and I really didn’t expect it to dive into some of the places it did. This was as enjoyable as it was awful. I think I’ll enjoy thinking about this book and it’s dynamics but hope to never re-read it.
