I'm a sucker for a translated novel with commentary on society, especially sexuality and gender. This scratched that itch, whilst also being hilarious. We follow an alien who crash lands on earth and now uses dating sites to meet people, sleep with them, and eat them 💁🏻‍♀️ what a ride

It’s a great commentary on how disability and queerness are received by society and the different forms of violence one is subjected to when we hold those identities. But I just feel like it all was obvious, yet lacking. Maybe it felt obvious because many of the identities I hold are subject to regular vitriol, but it also didn’t feel “deep” enough..? I’m struggling to find the words. Nonetheless, I appreciate its existence.
