Petit rat de bibliothèque qui a beaucoup de mal à lire. J'ai 32 ans, je suis non-binaire (iel+neutre/masc) et vous pouvez me retrouver sur @tellington@eldritch.cafe. J'aime un peu tous les genres sauf l'horreur et le policier. Je lis (et écris) en français et en anglais.

Lil' bookworm who has a hard time reading. I'm 32, non-binary (they/them) and you can find me at @tellington@eldritch.cafe. I like almost every genre except horror and mystery/crime novels. I read (and write) in French and English.

I did the only thing I knew how to do: copy the behaviour of other girls. Let’s call it reverse-engineering normality.

"Reverse-engineering normality" is such a good and fun way to say this.

Reads like a mildly good fanfic

There were boring moments, there were really moving moments but my overall impression is that it was so tropey. Some parts were like fun fanfiction but I often had a hard time suspending my disbelief over the setting and all these convenient-for-storytelling quirks.

I just realized how weird it is that a ~16yo is dubbed "sexiest poet" in a magazine or something. Like is it a competition for/about teenagers (how many famous and sexy teenager poets are there?) or is he considered sexier than adult poets/in the eyes of adults?
