I spent the first 20 pages of this book being NOT into it, and then all of a sudden I couldn't put it down.

I loved how deeply deeply HUMAN every character in this book was. Their flaws and beauties, their strengths and weaknesses, their mistakes and

Borison has done it again! I loved continuing this series, with these endearing characters. And I loooooove a "help we're stuck in the same room during a huge snowstorm" book. Delilah and Jackson are opposites in the best secretly compatible way, and ...more

The Substance meets Snow White. I really love Mona Awad. I love the surreal world in which she writes--the allegory and horror and humanity of it all. This book was f***ed up in the best of ways. There's something really visceral about this book that ...more

Carl Sagan
“How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, “This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?” Instead they say, “No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.” A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.”
Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

Dorothy L. Sayers
“Perhaps it is no wonder that the women were first at the Cradle and last at the Cross. They had never known a man like this Man - there never has been such another. A prophet and teacher who never nagged at them, never flattered or coaxed or patronised; who never made arch jokes about them, never treated them either as "The women, God help us!" or "The ladies, God bless them!"; who rebuked without querulousness and praised without condescension; who took their questions and arguments seriously; who never mapped out their sphere for them, never urged them to be feminine or jeered at them for being female; who had no axe to grind and no uneasy male dignity to defend; who took them as he found them and was completely unself-conscious. There is no act, no sermon, no parable in the whole Gospel that borrows its pungency from female perversity; nobody could possibly guess from the words and deeds of Jesus that there was anything "funny" about woman's nature.”
