A Taste of Honey

rep:
★ 2.5 stars ★
The writing style and nonlinear timeline left me feeling disconnected, which is a shame because I really liked the worldbuilding and the plot was, on a theoretical level, really interesting. In other words, this is a well-crafted novella, just not my cup of tea.
