dnf at 40%. i just couldn’t get through the slice of life going nowhere exposition, which makes up an alleged 90% of the book. san’s loneliness and isolation are of her own making as she is constantly surrounded by people, but chooses to not connect with them. the LGBTQIA tag really goes nowhere because it’s a fleeting childhood moment of tenderness and is never brought up within a reasonable context again. based on descriptions of how this book ends—including what’s described as poorly handled, left turn, shock value sexual violence—i just don’t see the point in finishing it.
