I just came here to have a good time but I feel called out. This book was somehow written at me but also about me but also in my point of view but also by someone who has no idea who I am. That's how much I related to this book. Now this. This is one of the best poetry books I've read in a while. 10000% deserves the 5 stars I'm giving it.

I love queer feminist poetry. This had cute little poems including some interesting things about Aphrodite. I also liked the pictures in it, I feel like they really added to the work.
