# acts of service

sometimes i like a book and can’t explain why.

i got it from the library because i didn’t think that i would like it because of my current distrust of the litfic genre (thanks to books I've recently read in the same genre), but i found myself needing to highlight it. so i bought the physical version.

it’s just so addictive and interesting. it starts with a bang and continues to pull on my intrigue throughout.

the characters and relationships are excellent. it explores a relationship that i typically don’t read about. this relationship explores sexuality and power in a way that is addictive yet intellectual.

the relationship also creates an interesting self-introspection by our main character, making the novel interesting on all three planes of a story: the literal, internal, and metaphorical.

i’m sure i’ll only fall in love with it more after a reread.
