Loved the premise. Loved the audiobook narrator. Loved to hate Evelyn. Literally yelled "oh my god" out loud at some points while listening. Loved the turns the story took.

A story of queerness and identity and bi erasure and learning to love oneself interspersed with retellings of Hindu mythology. I love Vivek Shraya’s writing and storytelling so much.

It took me a bit to get into this, but I’m so happy I stuck with it because it was weird and delightful. Aliens! Cats! Bacon! Peets and beans!
