A review by aiyam
Crystal's House of Queers by Brooke Skipstone
Did not finish book.
1.0
This book made me extremely uncomfortable.
I was not aware that this book was set during covid, and at times it felt very overplayed and a little too realistic. The teachers were always reminding students to pull up their masks, the older people were in constant fear, etc. and it all just hit really hard after a full year of this pandemic. I just felt antsy reading about it.
The other thing I didn't like was the graphic sex scenes, all of the characters in this book are minors and I just don't enjoy explicit scenes that involve people under 18. The opening of the first chapter is literally such a vivid description of a sex scene that I had to put my phone down.
Overall this was not the book for me, and I think I might have been less turned off by it if I had more warnings of the content.
