Black Wave by Michelle Tea

this was so beautiful. such keen and perceptive insights on love, addiction, all the things i’ve come to expect from michelle. i will say—no spoilers but there was a bit towards the end likely inserted to home in on a point about addiction and the way that impacts your brain? regardless i found it unnecessary and disturbing. of course not enough to denounce the whole book, i get she was going for a nuanced thing, but i really could do without that. regardless i still recommend this story with my whole heart. such a realistic dystopia/utopia?? it was all just so well thought out and written and had so much heart and humanity within it.
