This was fun! A very intimate glimpse at New York sapphic culture in the most bawdy and bizarre way. Also a VERY honest glimpse at the current state of the New York artsy influencer scene. I also like that this is a queer book that is so obviously made for queer people. This book was not softened and toned down to attract the straights. And we need more books like that tbh. I’m kind of over reading “queer” books obviously written by and for straight women (looking at you, Evelyn Hugo). I don’t care if this book isn’t perfect or if the characters are all different flavors of self-absorbed. They feel like real people and that’s more important to me.
