some of the quotes in this book are LAUGH OUT LOUD funny

don’t get me wrong, both the themes and characters are completely problematic and this book makes me feel a bit gross (like ALL lesbian pulp does), but i low-key respect an author who is willing to alienate the majority of their potential audience - and in fact incite RAGE in a lot of people who pick this up - just for the sake of staying true to the genre of lesbian pulp. dedication to art FOR SURE

The sort of book that would give a straight person a heart attack

Just finished another book by this author that was psychological torture and also compulsively readable so I’m trying another in hope it’ll only have the LATTER feature
