Interesting premise, but my god, Natalie is one of the most insufferable POVs I've ever read. Her holier-than-thou performative ass, complete lack of empathy or even mild interest in anyone but herself, and refusal to take accountability for her bad decisions (while judging everyone else for theirs) made this a miserable reading experience.

5/5 despite my initial struggle with the “stream of consciousness” narrative style. a beautiful and quietly devastating sex-positive queer manifesto, this story will stay with me for a while

a bunch of insufferable characters being pretentious and performative about everything and everyone. first half was a drag but the second got me invested as the queer side story developed with a focus on bodies and identity. 3 stars for the steamy study on sexual desire and honest commentary on friendship’s growing pains

first chapter: 5 stars, 10/10 no notes
rest of the book: what a drag

strong start but underwhelming development with boring chapters that didn’t feel at all connected.
