It's ironic that Nelson spends so much of this book debating whether putting something in writing robs it of its essence, since I thought I'd love reading about blue but I actually really disliked this book. Maybe it was her frequent insistence on referring to sex as "fucking". Idk maybe this is just my asexuality showing but I find it so annoying when writers talk about their "lovers" *gag*. There were some lines that I did like but overall it just wasn't what I thought this book would be, I guess.
