Mostly sapphic romance, YA, sci-fi, fantasy, but I'll try most genres of fiction (except horror). Would probably read more graphic novels, but most of them don't display too well on my e-reader.

I had a hard time suspending disbelief re: the technobabble in this book (more so than usual with scifi) and could have done without the secondary potential romantic interest, but it was still a pretty fun read and I was invested enough in the characters and their struggles that I found it hard to put down.

Seemed like the primary conflict was going to be "society says we can't be together so we'll try to fall for people we don't like as much" and I just wasn't in the mood for it this past week. Maybe some other time; it was pretty amusing.

Content warning cw: alzheimer's mention
"Beauty fades, but smarts are something no one can ever take away."
"Except Alzheimer's," Noa's mother replied, water turning on and off somewhere in the background. "That can take intelligence away. And not getting enough sleep. That'll do it too."
Lilah opened the fridge and scanned the shelves for somewhere to stash the cheesecake. Beer, leftover pizza, three jars of pickles?
Three jars of pickles? Why yes, there is a trans woman living in this house!
"[...] She's involved in a polycule that's, like six women deep right now. six women and a nonbinary lesbian named Max who eats all my expensive yogurts even though they're supposedly lactose intolerant."
"She" is Chrissy (the trans roommate), and I swear she sounds like someone I would be following on Mastodon.

"Houses that look like a big guy lives in them are less likely to get targeted by serial killers," she answered, quite serious.
Lilah hid a small grin. "Nadia's got a thing about true crime stories."
"There've been studies!" Nadia objected, double-checking her phone before she zipped it away.
"Isn't that feeding into ideas that women need a man around to protect them?" Noa asked, trying to envision exactly how that kind of study would be conducted. Sample populations? Placebo serial killers?
Nadia shrugged off her question. "Maybe, yeah, sure. Patriarchy bad. But how many serial killers are woke enough to care?"
Noa: She's a pageant queen and she takes all that shallow tiara stuff seriously.
Chrissy: Your second-wave issues are showing again. Embrace the million varied facets of womankind.
A lot of the references to horror movies and Jewish culture went over my head, but I liked the romance and really loved the humor.
Also, Chrissy (the trans best friend/roommate) sounds like someone I would follow on Mastodon.
Read it before, but enjoyed it enough to re-read.

Wait, Meryl Wilsner has a book that I haven't read? Must rectify this situation post-hate!

@lapis@bookwyrm.social Very much same! I started it not even realizing I had read her other books, but the title & cover and one of the characters is a bookstore employee? Yep. This was 100% my comfort food reading.
