Cassandra Khaw is very weird about Asian characters.

Plot is starting to tighten up. Author plays fast and loose with words that don’t fit the sentences they’re shoved in but whatever. We’re near the end.

I’ve realized I only enjoy the book when it’s about anyone other than Julie and those closely associated with her. Those characters crumble into one-note filler people around her, and her own character POV, is insufferably cringe.

But when the book (rarely) pivots away to a character mostly untouched by Julie (Tyler), it becomes moderately enjoyable. Hoping more of that will help me finish this!

Terrible
