Loved the idea of this story: queers just being queer and the drama that comes along with just living life. We deserve queer books that aren’t only about trauma or coming out. However…… I did find the characters a bit flat (like some other reviewers here). The manipulative main character’s self-absorption was painful to read. Does this actually make this book genius? Maybe sort of. I’m all for the feminist horror of a protagonist driven to hysteria. But this book just didn’t hit like a Mona Awad novel does.
