I'm queer and have mostly queer friends apart from friends from work or sport, and I've noticed that friends who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, especially those who identify as queer, read a lot more than my straight cis friends. Part of me thinks it's escapism and seeking representation and then also being informed (mostly from nonfiction or fiction which touches on reality). Any thoughts? Are other friendship circles similar or is this just a coincidence?

This story weaves together in such a beautiful, heart wrenching way. The characters can be frustrating, but you love them through it because they seem authentic/not idealized. I also LOVE the way that the narrator's tone shifts slightly depending whose perspective is in focus. This makes the characters more tangible and gives weight to every interaction, even beyond the major plot points. Also the audiobook specifically highlights Marcellus so well 🥲 looking forward to the movie adaptation.

This is a great read, and I'm glad it's available to kids today - trans kids and allies alike 💖 recommend the version with the FAQ at the end for some extra perspective as well.

I once again just want more. I want to tune into Monk and Robot like the radio, just hear what they're up to and what philosophical debates they're having a couple times a day. Engaging and cozy and all-around delightful. I'm running out of Becky Chambers and I'm having feelings about it 🥲😭

Sometimes felt a little repetitive and some of the MC romance left me like 😒 but it was generally fun and a cute premise. Haven't read a romance in a long time, so this was a good reintroduction to the genre!
