Yabo by Alexis De Veaux

3.0

So, I love what this was trying to do thematically. I'm not sure if it succeeded at it though with me. There was a lot of sex, which isn't itself a problem but I had difficulty keeping the characters straight because they were all having so much sex. Interesting countercultural sex in some cases... but it was a problem for me. Part of me thinks that since the timeline blending was deliberate that the effect might have been intentional but it came across less linked and liminal than fuzzy and homogenized.

the other trigger for me is ...

there's a plotline about a professor sleeping with the student she is advising. And yes I know she's of age, depiction not endorsement, etc. I'm a woman in love with a woman older than me myself, I'm no prude. But teacher student is a hard hard no for me and there was no way to avoid it in this book because there is no way to tell what the book is about without reading it.
