The actual body horror I experienced from reading the first chapter of this book was so palpable I could feel it rolling off my shoulders. I can't put it down now!

Fucking love this book

If I had realized Gideon was a girl’s name, I would have picked this up a long time ago

I appreciate books that reference fucking in the backseat of cars behind Tim Hortons because, relatable.

Please don’t judge how many different books I have in the go right now 🤣 I have my reasons!

I’ve only read the intro but I love that this was partially funded by the government of Canada because damn they do a lot wrong but funding poetry by sex workers is so right

I misplaced this somewhere, anyone seen it? lol

I HECKIN love Paper Girls 😁😁😁

I think I might just break up with this book because it’s a bit dry and not bringing me joy

Lost in Translation has a melancholy loveliness that I really enjoy

Love the premise, but I'm finding it a touch dry so far.

Devastating, genius essays. Not for the faint of heart.

Very compelling

I'm not enjoying the lingo or writing style, but the content is interesting. BIt on the fence as to whether I will continue with this one or not.

I hate it and if I finish this book, it’ll only be so the loathsome review I leave if fully accurate

Hot dog girl is charming af

This is an absolutely amazing book. I’m not reading it in order and it’s taking me FOREVER because it just blows my mind so much. I need a second job to buy all the books I need to buy because I’d really love to own this!

Neil’s recommendation on the cover sold me on it and he was right, as always!

Finally, someone who loves Audre Lorde and Octavia Butler as much as I do!

Audre and I had a difference of opinion and I was grappling with the uncomfortable feeling of disagreeing with someone you absolutely admire and look up to when the book had to be returned to the library because someone else requested it. I’ll come back to it! I still adore Audre Lorde.
