I really loved this book. I loved how it was written so that the world was tactile. This book felt round and full of color, tastes, and smells. It was a love letter to San Francisco, second chances at love with a partner and at loving yourself, and the fierce love between women have for their friends. It's also about loneliness and sex work and how that work allows everyone involved a double life between their everyday selves and their fantasy selves and how this affects everyone involved.
