Disgusting disturbing 
Why was this a sapphic couple? I would think Zoe was actually a man because what woman would do that it almost feels offensive as a lesbian to read this omg Im surprised I didn’t throw up. Also so weird that a man wrote this 
I don’t know why anyone would write this but not surprised that it wasn’t a woman that wrote this. Like how did this come into somebody’s head. Ew 🤮🤮🤮
This author needs to go to therapy 
Also I may never eat again.

finished in an hour & it still wasn't worth the time it took to read it. good if you're looking for gross-out/shock horror i guess? characters felt underdeveloped & almost indistinguishable which is unfortunate when the format of your story is email conversations. gross and then sad - not worth the hype imo

while the pace of the book was intriguing, it also felt jumpy and clunky. the tension could've been heightened by more in depth interactions and bond between the characters and even more build up to more of the intense actions made by characters. i feel like building up the tension in intrigue in the two characters and the bdsm side of the relationship could've been really interesting, but instead it felt stale and unexplored, moving too fast to really feel like some of the intensity of actions and interactions were warranted.

it's because the planet is a carnivore and wants to be fed. people want that as well. people want to eat other people. i spent so many years forgetting i had teeth, too.
