Amazing job in terms of diverse characters and intersectionality. One of the main characters (Jules) for example, is a neurodivergent black, nonbinary child of immigrants.
Speaking of Jules, I related to them so much especially with their constant “that’s so cool!” with their mind going from one thing to another, and how they feel they always mess things up.
Short books are perfectly fine and while we did learn enough to get a picture of who Ava and Jules are, we knew they’d been in a relationship and why they broke up but I still for the most part could not establish any sort of dynamic between them other than their connection through work and bickering recently broken up partners.
I like how the ending is left open in this case which is something that does not always feel right to me. I definitely would read a sequel or other related book.
Also completely unrelated to my rating, I was laughing reading the reviews and how almost everyone mentioned Ikea yet I completely was oblivious to that having been the setting 😅. I know of Ikea and think I have been to one once but don’t remember much.
Moderate: Death, Injury/Injury detail, Body horror, Abandonment, Cannibalism, Cursing, Blood, Medical content, Emotional abuse, and Cultural appropriation
Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Transphobia, Sexual content, and Panic attacks/disorders
