guys I'm really pissed off cause i wrote this review and then scheduled the post and then it disappeared 😠😠 now I have to live this book all over again. this is about a woman who tries to sell her apple peeler on a queer website and then forms what ig you could call a "relationship" with another woman on the site, horrible and disgusting times ensue. this is an epistolary book so it's told in the form of emails and instant messenger chats sent between the two main characters (set in 2000 lol). this was such a visual book and I mean that in a bad way. this book actually made me feel nauseous because it was so disgusting and there was a point where I had to put the book down and have a little break because some terrible stuff was happening 😭😭 I am super queasy when it comes to this sort of stuff. this author is amazing at imagery, like I could really see every single one of these scenes and I loved the themes of obsession and ig loneliness and how past truama manifests. it just put me off a little bit after I found out that this wasn't written by a woman. men can often fetishize particularly lesbian relationships and this could definitely be read as truama porn😭😭 I don't think the rest of their books are like this which leads me to believe that this is not written in bad faith but it was something I thought about. anyway, 3.5 stars
