I didn't like this as much as the other one (Sorry, Bro). MC was not very likable. The HEA felt unearned too, your love interest can't hate the MC but then show up 3 months later and be fine again. It just felt rushed and didn't make sense.

Enjoyed it, but some of the action/drama was a miss for me. Still my fav sapphic author though. Go to her site and buy the ebook (or physical) before the Amazon release!

Different from Detransition, by a lot, but also not really? Every story in this collection is a work of art, though I didn't /love/ infect your friends as much as the others, surprisingly

Enjoyed and would recommend, but definitely will not be everyone

I really expected to like this more than I did. I understand the purpose of the writing style, and it communicates a dreaminess that Offred experiences, fading in and out of reality and time as a trauma response, but it almost feels too vague at points. The lack of quotation marks is hard to follow in some places. The “historical notes” at the end feel superfluous, although read as a commentary on academic detachment from atrocities, especially those perpetrated by white men it's interesting. Not sure that's how it's intended though. I'd still recommend reading it, if only because of its place in SpecFic and feminist canon.
