The book is really just hot girls being full of themselves and how hot they are and being hot and full of themselves in NYC. Honestly it was all just one big vibe.

A book that both feels long and very short. The ending left a bit to be desired, but the atmosphere building is very interesting. I think the way it portrays abuse and coercion is very immersive and haunting.

The message in the book felt a bit heavy handed, but was also touching. I feel like it took a meandering route to the message just to slam it into your face in the last chapter, but generally this was an enjoyable book. A fast read that I would recommend.

It was fine. The writing was beautiful in some places, and some stories were lovely, but generally this was a very forgettable collection.

It started out boring and I forgot I had it checked out and it returned itself which I took as a sign.

It was fine. Atmospheric and a good read for folklore lovers. Generally runs on vibes over anything more substantial.

A collection of short stories that lead you down a winding path of emotion and rage. Truly a powerful work.
informative inspiring fast-paced

A great short intro to the basics of what Anarchism is and isn’t. The zine presentation is very accessible to beginners and portable for on the go discussion and reading.

A short, silly book with short, silly absurdist stories.
