The three of them should’ve been locking lips and hunching all together and there would’ve been less conflict. They were all made for each other. Down with monogamy!

"His brain was treacherously negative."

This book was beautifully written, wonderfully descriptive and an overall great portrayal of the ups and downs of friendship in a creative environment. I'll be thinking about this one for a while. 
It just missed the fifth star for me just as I felt the plot was slightly wavering at points but overall I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to read!

Too many casual mentions of settler colonialism, and it takes far too long to become interesting.
