eloquent as always, you put together ideas i couldn't quite unpack, and a major feat that is with the subject matter at hand. so glad you enjoyed it!!!
I did read this recently and you did a much better job of the review. I rated this Ike 4 🌟’s due to the very issues you brought up as why some may not get along with it. The graphic nature of that porn scene and if felt meta at times. However, I also agree with your positives. This book will make you feel all of the feels and my favorite story was The Main Character. I know it deserves a re read from me, because I am sure I missed some things. I also looked up anachronisms many times, QFOC (queer friend of color, who knew?) Which, by the way, the QFOC is connected in The Feminist Chapter and The Main Character, if I remember correctly. In short, I won’t be forgetting this book for a while and it is deserving of your praise and 5 star rating.
Don't think so...however, because i'm old and little out of touch with Internet terminology, I did have to keep stopping to look up words and phrases... and that is ten times harder with audio. So it depends if you're willing to just "not understand stuff" and keep with the flow of the audio. Or keep pausing now and again to look stuff up :)
A book that criticizes the toxicity of feminist allies? Count me in!

Thank you! However, a massive thanks to you for introducing it to me :)
Just finished. So. Good.
Great, well-rounded review! I listened to this on audio. and I think it’s one of the best books I’ve ‘read’ this year.
This sounds great. Thanks for the review.
Ahhh I've been so curious about this one! Something about it has been calling to me, and after this review I think I need to pick it up!
ooh, you’ve got me interested! i have such a hard time with short stories, however…
I am so keen to read this book. It just sound like the best kinds of nasty. Funny, biting, cringey and a little extreme. Yep. Not this week, but soon.
hey so many spoilers! my favorite is the “bitter crone” hahah.

It is not released until January!!! This review makes me want to pick it up now, how can I wait for 2 months?
If you and Nathan both recommend it, I have to give it a go despite my Victorian sensibilities 😂
Would I miss any interesting syntactical choices if I listened to this on audio?

You’ve piqued my interest, I just ordered a copy. Looking forward to reading it!
Linked stories. Funny. Squirmy. Sharp. Sold!
