"Nerds of a feather, right?"
"Not today, Satan."
"[...]squick[...]"
"Legalized prostitution is hot like Kīlauea[...]"
"And I even got my Blu-ray of Chainsaw Hobos from Mars autographed without having to wait in line at Comic Con!"

"[...]skeet[...]"
In this book, the author called cum "skeet". She called cum "skeet".
Between the 2010s YA-influenced style that was tonally dissonant when paired with the graphic content and serious tone of this book, the really clumsy way social issues were discussed, and the, uh... interesting (read: strongly indicative of a background in fandom culture, regardless of the character's own background or subculture) choices of wording, this isn't one I'm gonna recommend. I loved the gross body horror sex and I liked the worldbuilding, but overall I don't think this book was worth my time.
