@SallyStrange@bookwyrm.social i meant more that for plot reasons and also reasons of US liberalism it assumes drugs are a lot less damaging than they actually are. Doctorow is way worse though; Robert very clearly and even in this book acknowledges that drugs are somewhat dangerous. Doctorow is like ”lol give everyone drugs it’s fun”.

This is a nice little graphic novel. I'm kind of bummed out that it wasn't funnier; Mattie is very funny; many of her online cartoons are some of the funniest I've seen. This graphic novel isn't funny, or at least isn't funny in the same way.

This book is laser targeted towards queer millennials. I say this as a queer millennial who used to live in a destabilising collective not entirely dissimilar to the one described at the start of the book.

It’s entire tone is very buzzfeed quiz which quirky queer are you and for some reason it references some of those DIY space heaters a lot. Like, almost as an ad a lot.

Started this as a palate cleanser between romance (why am I on this instance oh now I remember)
Now I remember why I don’t read romance. My primary anxiety is about interpersonal relations AND THAT’S ALL ROMANCE IS

This book feels a lot like a post partum depression in that nothing happens for an eternity and everything feels bad in an unspecified way.
Fortunately, it’s ok to give up on a book midway.
