Soooo sugary sweet it hurt my heart. Cozy, warm, and fun, makes you think about the state of our world without actually making you think all that hard at all. Also the plot twist was lowk a banger, so extra points for that.

This was incredible. This author is soooo incredibly good at getting you to fall hopelessly in love with the story line and feel deeply connected to the cast of characters she writes about. This was amazing, every emotional aspect was handled with such care, and pulling together the solving of the cult plot at the end takes some SERIOUS talent and planning skill. 5 stars. Excellent finale to an excellent series.

I wanted so bad to love this book with all my heart, but it just didn’t quite have the impact I thought it would. The Husband Stitch, Inventory, and Difficult at Parties were the standouts for me among the short stories, though I did still have to do a fair bit of online reading to fully grasp what analogies the story was making. The story that truly made zero sense to me was Especially Heinous, in that one especially I find the points the author is trying to make about violence, feminism, and fetishizing peoples terrible experiences is buried under flowery (albeit incredible) writing, and artsy imagery and descriptions. This collection had that problem overall for me. I think I may try this one again when I’ve had more life experiences, I believe that will improve my understanding.

This book was a beautiful represtation of love. In fact one of the most complex and honest depictions of it that I have ever read. The characters were so loveable, and the sheer amount of queer joy in this book is amazing. 4.5 stars, simply because Tatums perspective fell flat a bit for me at times. But overall, one amazing story. Probably the best queer love story I’ve read, and I would marry Carson if I could.
