I really wanted to like this book. I don’t like the audiobook narrator, so I’m waiting for the physical copy at the library before I officially dnf but
1. My expectations were off. I was expecting more of a scientific exploration of queer ecology, but it is far more skewed towards memoir. I wanted scientific and specific, and I got personal and mysticism.
2. The snail sex scene was too much.

why are you gonna introduce a character with she/they pronouns and exclusively use she/her the rest of the book

Tom Bombadil mention!

smut for spring break!

I love this book.

“As soon as Erica had become incredibly, constantly aware of her own gender, she had also become convinced everybody around her had a full CSI team dedicated solely to figuring out what was up with Erica's gender.” So relatable!

i read about 50 pages of this book thinking a character was a human being and it turns out she’s a dog

re-entering my 2014 obsessed with marie lu era

TBDBITL reference!!!

a re-read before the sequel comes out!!! still five stars

i’m so frustrated with the main character, i don’t have the patience for a slow burn right now

big peach motif in this book🍑

i’m feeling so disappointed by this book. maybe my expectations were too high, but it’s really falling short. i liked one of the essays but the rest are just not hitting.

chloe is so insufferable but in the most accurate high school baby gay theatre kid way

a much needed palette cleanser after a little life

i may never emotionally recover

the story framing is simply marvelous
