Incredibly sweet and moving at parts. At times I loved the prose, and at times it became a little self-indulgent, but I think that's what Gay was going for anyway. The best part of this book is that I started counting my delights more or less intentionally throughout my days reading it. Thanks, Ross Gay!
I really can't believe this book. I need like a million copies so that everyone in my life can read it. Hot take: love is a force for good?
As a book it's nothing to write home about, but as a jumping off point for a new digital worldview it's very compelling. I can't wait til I can get rid of my iPhone
I want to recommend this book to anyone thinking about masculinity/feminity and gender roles, but I think that person would be disappointed. This is a book that has that conversation as an element, but I found it far more engaging as an exploration of friendship and intimacy. I've still yet to read anything by Le Guin that I haven't been stuck thinking about for days
Not the best book ever but it made me feel like I was in space having fun so it's exactly what I was looking for
Whenever I'd put this book down, I'd talk in a southern accent for like a half-hour. I cried, it was great
One of the most frustrating books I've ever read. Really puts the ‘slow' in slow burn. But it was nice to feel all romance-y
There's a lot in this book that I'm still unpacking, but just like All About Love, it has changed my life. Masculinity as taught by patriarchy affects everyone and shapes everyone for the worse, even soft-boy-good-guys
This might be the first page-turner I've read in a long time, I legit had to pace myself to enjoy it longer. The romance is passionate and real, the mythmaking is exactly the kind of pulp I'm into. I'm embarrassed to say that this is the first book I've read that predominantly features an LGBT romance, but I'm happy to say it won't be the last
