- cathartic and holding up a mirror in the ways I was looking for
- engaging in the ways she was also so different from me
- I personally just wanted more sex throughout not just so intensely at the end, and more time in the animal overwhelm of the desperate moments rather than reflecting on them afterwards
- Unnecessary occasional 2nd person perspective
- Cassidy do u want to borrow my copy
Graphic: Emotional abuse and Sexual assault

2.5
Acts of Desperation is well written, I can't argue against that. But it often feels like a disproportionate melancholic fever dream all strung out. The ending feels like a slight moment of clarity that contrasts the book's overall somber tone.
Tbh I fought fight tooth and nail to get past all the gritty parts of this book and breathed a sigh of relief once it was all done.
