I actually really enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Usually I like more plot but I enjoyed the writing, wasn’t too descriptive or boring, the charters antics moved very quickly. 

I started this on the tube in my 8am commute and the first chapter is very intense, someone is literally getting fisted but anyway after that it’s great. And the sex isn’t smutty it’s real and intriguing.  

It’s like relatable but also so unrelatable and messy and fun and sad and dirty. Easy read and great queer book. 

I will say that apart from our main character, Iris and Spacegirl the other girls/ characters weren’t too memorable and we did skip in between.
