in the words of miss abby lee miller it was good but i was waiting for it to be great. some of the stories were forgettable and the good ones werent good enough to bump the book up. its like a collection to read if u like short stories but i didnt really connect with any of the characters and they felt like vignettes and not actually fully fleshed stories. it felt like it was trying to do smth and it failed. mid at best.

coming back to this actually: i agree with past reviewers, i really didn’t like the inclusion of explicit sex scenes w minors that kept popping up in the book. it happened in multiple stories and it just made me deeply uncomfortable. personal preference, i know, but this felt… fetishisy.
