"Buttercup's mother was a gnarled shrimp of a woman"
I will never look at a shrimp the same way now.

I really liked this one a lot. It is dark as shit but our two mains and their unspoken yearning as they traveled together and both confronted and committed all manner of horrors really sold it for me. The vibes were impeccable, the feminine rage was chef's kiss, and damn, while I did not fully understand the ending, I enjoyed it all the same.

I'm liking the writing style and setting so far. The dystopian cyperpunk setting is also really interesting. But I feel like reading The Great Gatsby beforehand is helpful to understand certain details.
The author presents the world without much explanation, and casually mentions corporations, technology, and jobs, without giving detailed information as to what they are or what they mean.
I've only ever watched the Gatsby movie, so I'm lacking some background information and can't spot all of the nods to the source material, or the way some events/ places are connected to one another.

I really REALLY loved the movie "I Saw the TV Glow" I think that is my favorite horror about being trans. If anyone knows any similar books / horror focusing on the Othering part of transness please throw your recs at me! (If there's a romance in it, I'm looking for TFT or trans boy x cis girl/trans girl x cis girl. I really dislike pregnancy content so I would rather it not be there at all.)

Iām struggling a little bit and having to take a few breaks. I donāt think I was mentally prepared for the violence š«£ Obviously a very heavy story here and emotions are very very raw.
