when i was reading this, i liked it a lot. this book is very comfortable with queerness and the outward expression of sexual queer desire and pleasure it was rlly nice to see! but when i sit and think about this book critically, i would probably have to rate it less than i am rating it now. rachel’s fatphobia towards miriam was straight up excused it felt like? i feel this book has a lot to say but barely addresses it? rachel’s mommy issues and the way that it affects her relationships with herself and other people is interesting to see. especially with ana and her, and how she projected what she wanted with her own mother into ana, despite both of these people being the same. i found it so odd how miriam and rachel’s relationship ended because of the palestine/israel conflict like wtf? definitely could’ve been written better LMAOO!!!!!! this book suffers from being wayyy too short, the ending was just so lackluster?
