I hate to give a queer book one star, especially since it‘s written by a queer author. But this just so wasn‘t for me. It felt so lesbophobic at times? Like maybe don‘t constantly use a literal slur to describe your every lesbian character. Also the overall mood of basically saying every lesbian is in the end only someone who is trans/doesn‘t want to be a woman is… an ick. And the only lesbian character who was a lesbian all throughout was a transphobic asshole? Not a good look, bro.

The story was also lowkey non-existent. I thought this would be a mild horror-read, but this was 90% only about the main characters falling in love after 5 minutes and then continuously banging at every instance. An actual issue besides that only started to slightly play out during like the last 20% of it.

Also the characters were supposed to be forty? They did not feel like that at all. They felt like a bunch of inconsistent, inexperienced post-teenagers and it was annoying.

I also didn‘t like the writing but that‘s my personal issue. To summarize, there‘s barely anything good I can say about this book. Which is sad because I was really looking forward to reading it.
