i’ll always have a bias towards books that are unapologetically LESBIAN and blunt about being LESBIAN and DYKEY like fr in this shit. bonus points if it’s about messy lesbians. i don’t even mind insufferable lesbians, one of my fav books is dykette but unfortunately, the first like 3/4 of this book was truly an eye roll. like im a chronically online lesbian, hell i agree with some stuff astrid says, i get satire but jesus christ, this book does the cardinal sin with these kinds of modern day satire media where they overdo it with the twitter speak and online discourse. and it just wasn’t funny. if i wanted this id just open some white lesbian’s with a tv pfp twitter account who thinks being fem4fem is an extra layer of oppression. ENOUGH

and its very obvious that’s the worst part of this book because when that stops and give up that terrible “cancelled� subplot (btw, this gave birth to genuinely one of the worst interactions i’ve ever read in the history of lesbian fiction � the karen pool scene), the book got much more enjoyable. overall, a painful read with a blah ending but meh, someone would love this
