My rating 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ best of the collection in my opinion!!
This is the 3rd book in the short story Disorder Collection and my fave by far.
This is terrifying because the internet is just that scary and easy to get hold of peoples details. It goes into sex dolls and the sex industry which was interesting and scary. But the message in this was one of the now and the future. Our details are not always safe even if you’re careful… which scares the hell out of me!!
I actually put this one off cause I am a bit of a prude but I needn’t have been concerned. It wasn’t graphic sex scenes … phew!!

A social commentary on female objectification
Plot: We are navigating the world where women are being replaced with headless lab grown bodies for sex work through several short stories, but mostly following one sex worker whose recordings were used to voice the dolls. This story is based on interviews with sex workers from Cape Town.
Likes: I like how through several shorter stories we are putting together the picture of the dangers for women in this particular distopia. I also likes the modern pop culture references mentioned thought the stories.
Dislikes: None.
Audience: Those interested in connecting to women involved in sex work and a commentary on a society that is fostering the market needs for these services by not addressing core issues.
Rating: I rate this with 5/5 stars, as the story was dinamic and hitting some key societal issues in a seemingly light read.

Okay, first of, I will definitely be a biased bitch when it comes to Stephanie. But wow, what are these ratings????? I expected the book to have at least a 3.6 star rating but why on earth is it nearing 2.9 stars???? Anyways, as always, I loved how Stephanie told the story. But with these ratings, it makes me truly wonder, did she do anything to it to make me want it more? Because, I mean, the way she told the story makes it one of the best short stories I’ve heard of.
Nothing in this book is impossible. The creation of fake humans for internal organs and pleasure? That does not sound like it’s a crazy plot that is far from happening in the near future. With the technology we have nowadays, I’m sure it can develop still and provide us these faceless bodies. Now, the question is, will we fall on the same dark abyss that the ungirls portrayed? Are we going to fall for the same mistakes that they did and take advantage of our advanced technology for something so selfish?
I’m telling you, it’s not impossible for people to fall for it. With the amount of hidden desires some of the people on earth hides, we’ll never know the true depths of what our world would be like when presented with this type of scientific breakthrough.
Read at your own risk, I’ve heard that the writing is wonderful. It’s a nice and short read as reviewed, and would be a great book companion.
