I feel like I have nothing interesting to say about this book, which is weird because it's alien sex bookended by a conversation about how society destroys the souls (and thus the lives) of the marginalized when it forces them to conform.
But not, like, interestingly, if that makes sense. It's just a cute story and one that I read quickly, but I didn't feel invested in it, I suppose.
I also just have very mixed feelings about Carriger as a writer. This is not the first book of hers that I've been extremely lukewarm on when the premise feels like something I would very much enjoy.
