  • Honestly I don’t know why I keep picking up books like this, they’re really not my style and I always struggle committing to finishing them, even when being as short as this one...
  • I did appreciate the love and choosing it, even knowing the end!

Uniquely creepy dark and religious as well as queer. Polk’s prose is killer and the vibes are immaculate. It’s film noir plus a lil magic.

This was such a beautiful book. For 100 pages it packs a punch and manages to cram in all this world building without it feeling too overwhelming or forced. And I adored Helen and Edith’s relationship. What a great story to start out my pride month❣️

A fun little palette cleanser novella. I liked this for the vibes but I’m not sure it’ll stick with me for very long.
