Chlorine captivated me from the moment I started reading. The writing wasn’t my favorite, as it felt like it was trying a bit too hard, but the way it explored relationships, sexuality, societal pressures on women in such visceral way does deserve recognition. 

Also love that Jade Song included a page with trigger warnings as this book is heavy with them. Weird girl lit horror through and through.
