im definitely much more invested in the story with Vivian and the narrator (...does the narrator have a name??) than the tv show. i'm amazed by the imagination it took to conjure a show like this, but i get a little lost with the format (no chronology in an encyclopedia) and even if it was more show-like, i honestly don't really have the patience for TV shows like this 😭

It's been months since I pick up a book and immediately I'm remembering why I love to read. The concept is so unique and I love the world Hazel Jane Plante builds. Excited to see where this story will take me :)

girl these run-on sentences... they're like 3 pages long. Switched to the audiobook in Spanish and it's so much better. The cadence is beautiful but I have to keep pausing it to ask my mom what a word means lol. I probably won't finish this cause it seems a bit too advanced for my first book in Spanish.

the love story between moss & water moved me to tears ngl

men aint shit

despite being, like, the target audience for this book im finding it really hard to stay engaged!! it's so very white and half the time i have no idea what im reading. i hope it gets better??

take camus' parisian ennui but make it trans

ok butttt this is actually way too dark and i don't think i can or want to finish it.

It's a good story- everyone receives a string telling them roughly how long they'll live. It's got me ruminating a lot on life and death lol and maybe I have to take a break from that.
It's told from the perspective of like 7 different characters and that's pretty dizzying at first but eventually you catch on to who's who.

Im loving this. A memoir told in magical realism - literally trans magic. Kai Cheng Thom writes beautifully and really takes you on a journey (get ur tissues ready)

As you can assume from the title of the book, its not the uplifting kind. It has made me laugh out loud a couple of times though. It feels like if the main character from A Room Called Earth and MYOR&R had a lesbian baby (and an actual plot)
