Do you want soft tender sapphic vibes? Embracing the monster within to accomplish your goals? A story that doesn't linger over failure to communicate as a plot device? This story may be for you!
I got pulled back, forth, and in every other direction by this story, in a good way. The main character's decisions could be seen as quite flip-flop-y, if you really don't like that kind of behaviour, but I saw it as learning the game of manipulation as she went, myself.
