The writing is quite cliched and a lot of the plot really doesn't make that much sense if you think about it for any length of time. But quite fun all in all

Such a mix of stories in this collection, all mostly focused around women's bodies, their ownership, and desire. They were quite surreal at times, but the writing is lovely and visceral, and really puts you into the headspaces of the main characters - which oftentimes was an unsettling experience. Will definitely be picking up other things by Machado in the future

Interesting premise but the tone of this book is quite bizzare and chirpy - it's too stark a contrast with the subject matter for me
