A review by osladek
Dead Collections by Isaac Fellman

Did not finish book. Stopped at 59%.
This book has absolutely no plot and no romance. The two main characters bored me to death and had nothing in common or even interesting to talk about. The way this entire book is dialogue made me lose interest so quickly. The dialogue is also so word vomit-y and feels like each character is talking to their therapist and not a love interest. The trans main character also annoyed me immensely. I am so tired of reading trans characters that only have 1 personality trait and thing to talk about and that is just being trans and sad. It's so odd to me that this is written by a trans masc person and they cannot write compelling trans characters. Not to mention the weird lesbian stereotypes that felt lesbophobic. Also I felt so gross reading lesbian characters described as a slur. This wouldn't be an issue to me if the writer was part of the group that slur is used against, it can absolutely be reclaimed, but the author is NOT a lesbian and seemed to want to rip apart lesbians in every chapter. Overall I will not be picking this up again.
