for like 2 months I recommended this book to everyone I know lmao. captures messy 22 year old queer life in a way utterly familiar to me while taking place ~a generation before I was that age. iykyk. very funny, hot, balanced with a lot of hardness and sweetness. one of those books that makes you go ”goddd I hate queer people” (lovingly! connection through exasperation!) as much as it makes you grateful to be queer. I hadn’t realized Paul is kind of a divisive main character - for what it’s worth, I loved him.

insane read. hallucinogenic & devastating. best fantasy I’ve read in ages

read this in a day while I was supposed to be prepping for a party, felt seen (currently recovering from twitter brain), wept & laughed openly, kept trying to read excepts to my Not Chronically Online loved ones who did not care but I thought they should care because this book was so good

weird lovely little book 
about objects in rooms and love and work and personhood and wanting to put things in your mouth
captures homesickness and grief for a place well
looking up the art installation it was written as a part of was very cool. I’d like to read more strange collaborative art literature

among other things, a good character study of privileged liberal ambivalence in the face of fascism 😜

fucked up leatherdyke noir

classic enemies to lovers, “spies on opposite teams fall for each other” but giving fairly strong “this was originally genderswapped aziraphale/crowley femslash fanfic” vibes
