A review by kaleighbasso
Dykette by Jenny Fran Davis
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
This is a DNF for me.
It’s got that Melissa Broder absurdity that I love but absolutely no drive behind the plot. I have never once said this in my life but this book is too heavy on vibes.
This feels like reading the dream journal of someone with adhd who took a really great edible. Which is certainly a vibe just not *my* vibe. It kinda felt like I dropped acid and went to see an uncanny version of the Barbie movie. Which, again, IS a selling point. I’m so conflicted on this DNF because I desperately want to be cool enough to get it.
You know how it feels to walk into a place and instantly know you’re not cool enough to be there? That’s how I felt reading it and I’m a Leo, I can’t handle feeling like a loser. So, alas, it’s just not for me.
