Okay, lmao @ thinking veterinarians, horticulturists & someone managing a whole ass nature center aren’t ambitious. Felicity is deeply unrelatable, but I do feel for her. Also, the consequences the villain got were incredibly mild & unsatisfying in proportion to the harm he caused. I’m actually mad about that. What a pos.

This is my first book by Natasha Pulley and it’s honestly a lot weirder than I expected from the description- I think it’s something about the narrative style. It’s kind of dryly comedic even though many the actual events are disturbing. I’m into it so far though, so hopefully that means I’m coming out of my reading slump (gave up on 2 books ~halfway through this week)!

Thoughts so far:
-this book is kind of a hot mess. The writing quality varies between pretty decent and completely cringey to a laughing out loud extent
-the world building is super interesting and intriguing but the general horniness of the 3 main characters takes a front seat and doesn’t feel earned or believable
-will Sachi develop a personality? Tbd
