How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster)
How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster) | Marie Cardno
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Life is tough when you're an eldritch abomination. Trillin isn't technically a person. She's a tiny breakaway piece of consciousness from the all-devouring Endless, doomed to eventually rejoin it. But when a human witch stumbles into her world, Trillin suddenly has a new reason to figure out individuality-one shape-shifting tentacle at a time. Sian is sure important magical discoveries are just around the corner, if she can just get her portals to work reliably. Reaching the dimension of the Endless without being eaten on sight is a dream come true, and Sian is determined to explore every bit of it. For science, of course, not for the strangely adorable life-form who keeps popping up and trying to... flirt? But Trillin's world can be a dangerous place, and keeping Sian safe might risk drawing the attention of the Endless itself-which will swallow Trillin up along with all her dreams of humanity. Together, can this unlikely duo escape the Endless, figure out the optimum number of appendages, and maybe even find love? ?How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster) is a sweet F/F romance between a witch scientist and a shape-shifting Cthulhu monster. HEA guaranteed!

Second read of Gay May! I liked this interdimensional novella a lot, but it‘s very much the first part of a serial rather than a full story with a resolution. It‘s always nice to spend time in Dunedin, though, and to meet toast-bunny-monster-pet thingies. #gaymay

Trillin breaks off from an all-consuming, terrifying, hungry ALL to become an individual with her own wants, needs, doubts, and reservations. I wish she‘d spent less time trying to decide how many tentacles she should have and more time finding other things she loved, aside from Siân (the human witch & scientist who she found exploring her dimension). The resolution to the story feels isolating. But this was still fun!

RosePressedPages I‘ve had this on my tbr because the premise sounds interesting and I loved the cover. I‘ll have to give it a try soon! 14mo
