Experimental in format and as a queer love story. Perhaps the only instance where run-on sentences and missing periods enhanced the novel in my opinion. (Idk what’s up with the “run on sentence, no punctuation” trend among major literary prize winners since 2020. It’s killing my brain as it often reads/feels like slop videos).

Overall, important queer context to explore and lovely as a literary read.

Book club made me do it

Literally hiding at work to read this. It’s such a page turner. Shoutout to Albania. 🇦🇱
