You wouldn’t fill a wine cellar with the empty bottles of wines you’d already enjoyed; similarly, bookshelves shouldn’t consist solely of #books you’ve already read. It’s important to have a good selection of new reads for every occasion.

First and foremost this is a great story about sex work, misogyny, and patriarchy, but it also just has some really fucked up alien sex and guys being absolute freaks.
