it was bound to happen at some point, my reading club read a book that I did not enjoy to say the least
as for what i liked, i found the lesbian romance that takes up the middle portion of the book to be fairly compelling and there were a couple short stories that had interesting concepts
however I found the first third (90 pages) of this to be kinda eyerollingly edgy and sometimes confusing, then we get the lesbian novella which I enjoyed, then the last third was okay but too scattershot.
Overall i just found that it was doing Too Much and not enough was developed sufficiently for me to get much from it. There were a lot of characters that seemed to be similar archetypes (or had the same voice) and i wish we collapsed some of these into the same character so that we could get more depth rather than breadth.
For further reading, I really agree with the review linked 👇
