Behind everybody’s sanity mask is someone who is unalloyed batshit in one way or another.

5 stars!!!!!!

i disagree to every single cristicism of this book because i simply want to be disagreable

well.. not every single one, because the fact that avra is 35 is just plain bullshit. but! since that is bullshit, i just made him up to be At Most 25yo in my head, thus raising the suspension of disbelief necessary to accept and love him for the silly little slut that he is.

avra just wants to be loved. he doesn't go about it smartly, instead attempts it chaotically, and i DO love him for it. tev… is alright i guess, could’ve gone deeper too, but sometimes a hardass just needs to be a hardass. also, julian was delicious, gimme five more of him dipped in whipped cream, please and thank you.

ok, so for once i will attemp an actual review.

[b:Running Close to the Wind|195791197|Running Close to the Wind|Alexandra Rowland|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1701952287l/195791197._SY75_.jpg|144265426] is a wacky slice of life (maybe???) set in this fantasy world of pirates, sea serpents, spies and enemies of state. it's also barely any of those things. it's character driven, except it doesn't go too deeply into that either? it's about a polyamourous relationship, which is why i picked it up in the first place, except it doesn’t discuss or deepens on it at all? so i guess it is mostly just vibes? except the vibes are scrumptiously, perfectly, vibing.

this book is camp, it is queer, it is unapolagetic! and i cackled so much and i had so much fun that i barely cared that this is the horniest book i've ever read

Spoiler

That Doesn't Even Have A Sex Scene In It

. honestly, maybe the reason i loved this book so much is because it is just about reaches the level of pettiness i aspire to achieve some day.

ah, it seems i failed to write a proper review again.

i don't think avra would mind.
