Recommendation from TikTok @nyecanread vm.tiktok.com/ZNduRrUo9/

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. The book makes excruciatingly dense reference to eg avocado toast sandwiches and all the rest of it. 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.

I guess I’m supposed to feel pandered to, but I don’t. I just feel exhausted.

I liked the first short story, tolerated the second and disliked the third.

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.

(It’s generally frowned upon to do that with a baby)

I give up!

It’s not bad but it’s Very Hetero and rather overwritten. I liked the setting, but the plot is essentially 100% deus ex machina.

I’m also always a bit wary of any story dealing with concepts like duty and fate by firmly mega-affirming the primacy of Freedom.

@laxsill@social.spejset.org Den är skitbra! Folk skriver verkligen inte så här tydlig kritik längre.
