deciding to listen to this on audio was a MOVE, and i'm giving myself a pat on the back for it.
not entirely bountiful when it comes to plot, but we all must know by now, i don't need that to enjoy a book and this is a solid example. so viscerally beautiful in an explorative sort of way.
this was hot; i had to turn it off in public, blushing on the bus fr.

loved this juuust as much and i think bitter was a really good set up for pet.
kinda want my own pet now. also loved both the inclusion of sign language and trans just being easily accepted and a way of lfie, as well as the friendship between jam and redemption.

incredibly informative, stuck to the facts for the most part and wasn't overly propagation. i really enjoyed the 'science-y' aspect that was easy to wrap my very much non scientific brain around

this felt like reading a diary, which made it easily consumable and relatable. also very inclusive without being too 'look i'm being diverse !!' (ashely herring blake, take some notes xx). i also really liked all the different relationships j has, and the exploration of those relationships was solid. also reaaaally liked the poems, esp the one interlaced with a recipe, very unique.
the writing style wasn't my fav tho - very much; i did this. i thought this. someone did this. because they like this. there were these things. and also that. and then i did this.' i just find this sort of writing stilted, and prefer being shown things rather than just constantly told.

i don't usually rate non fic, but this lit had grammatical errors and it makes me question the accuracy ... also everything in this i absolutely could've found easily in a single google search but some of the earlier cases i hadn't originally heard about so i guess there's that?
