“You’ve had an intense couple of days. I’m in a good place in my cycle and have so much room in my spirit to hear you. Not talking about a breakup can totally lead to a yeast infection.” Okay, WHAT. THE. FUCK. I was really looking forward to this book, it sounded so promising. Lesbian! Puerto Rican! Feminism! I started this book and immediately wanted to DNF it. But there so many 5 star ratings and it just sounded so promising. I was so excited to meet Harlowe, this mysterious, “ultimate authority” feminist. But I just couldn’t stop rolling my eyes whenever she spoke. Her lines are ridiculous (see above) and she annoyed me so much. Her book fictitious book “Raging Flower” is apparently a hit but if I’d buy a book that tells me to “touch the wobbling blobs of blood and tissue [..] Slide fingers deep inside your cunt and learn what your period feels like before it’s out of your body” I’d go back to the shop and demand a refund. The snippets of her book sounded awful. I didn’t like Juliet either. I can’t believe that a 19 year old gay Puerto Rican girl is this uneducated about LGBT matters. She didn’t know what transsexual means, she didn’t know that “Stonewall was a fucking riot” and thought that “it was just a bar that had Lesbo-A-Go-Go parties on Tuesday nights”. She didn’t know what preferred pronouns are or what polyamory is. Okay, so this book took place in 2003. And yet I still don’t believe that someone could be this uneducated and ignorant. Who was Phen? Why was he there? He kind of judged Juliet and then he disappeared. No mention of him ever again. There was no real plot either. What about Harlowe’s second book? What about the anthology? Where’s the action? There’s a lot of explaining but no acting .
4.5
I rarely find reads where I truly relate to a character, but this did it for me. I think the color palette, artwork, the representation, the realistic interaction with the White Feminist™, literally EVERYTHING about this graphic novel is phenomenal. Now I need to read the novel because I just know it'll be a new favorite.
