slipstream 's review for:

Everything Under by Daisy Johnson

3.5

challenging dark slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Loveable characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I have really mixed feelings about this one. I love Johnson’s use of language, but l feel like it was more effective for the short stories of Fen. There were some beautiful passages here, but the symbolism got repetitive. I also don’t love the way that the trans characters are handled. It sort of felt like their trans-ness was used as a plot twist.
