pickI loved this one just as much as I loved the other book in the series. They're so different, how does Cipri manage that? And they're still sort of the same. It's amazing. And I do get the appeal of that one, and why many people prefer “Finna“. Well, I hope that there are going to be more books in the series. Or more anti-capitalist sci-fi novellas by Cipri.

Science fiction with a sprinkling of MM romance. My first TJ Klune but won‘t be the last!
Loved the characters but had a bit of trouble with the premise, once it‘s revealed what‘s actually going on so deducting half a star. Right up my alley otherwise!

I‘ve heard lots of good things about this book. Just picked up my copy from the library.

so-so***** Meh, I wasn‘t thrilled in this one, It was readable, had some exciting moments once it got there, but overall I found it lackluster at best.
My book recs depend on the person I‘m speaking with. So, I have to know what the person might do with the book. If I think it will develop further compassion in them or that they are open to learning of the reality of this world we live in, I will recommend my favorites to them. I don‘t want these works I love being used against the very people the author is giving humanity to.

pickThis was such a good read! I immediately put the first book on my To Read-List. It was spooky, with a lot of spookiness coming from how people are treated (e.g. reality). I never knew where the story was really going and yes, I had a soft spot for Derek. I think I'm into anti-capitalist satire.

pickMembers of a messy queer found family deal with their life struggles, whether it is midlife parenting and dating woes, feeling isolated, needing a new job, or striving for the education they want. The characters are inclusive, and their dynamics are delightful and complex. I was a little surprised by some later happenings and how the group responds. #LGBTQIA
