When a transphobic woman bombs Frankie’s workplace, she blows up Frankie’s life with it. As the media descends like vultures, Frankie tries to cope with the carnage: binge-drinking, sleeping with strangers, pushing away her friends. Then, she meets Vanya. Mysterious, terrifying Vanya. The two hit it off immediately, but as their relationship intensifies, so too does Frankie’s feeling that Vanya is hiding something from her. When Vanya’s secrets threaten to tear them apart, Frankie starts digging, and unearths a sinister conspiracy, the roots of which go deeper than she ever imagined.

Amazing book! Hurt my mental health!

Truly not a book for the faint of heart. At one point I tried to look up trigger warnings for this book and everywhere I looked just said “all of them. Every trigger imaginable is in here”. The author even encourages you to take a break at one point.
A really interesting blend of storytelling methods, integration of real life politics, and outrageous fantasy. The audio performance is incredible. Truly. It felt like a fundamentally different experience in audio form and I doubt it would have affected me as much if I read it in written form. There are points when the author directly addresses the reader and hearing it spoken really makes it personal. Even though I was not affected by any of the horrific triggers present in the plot this is what finally got me.
A really devastating look at how easy it is to be manipulated- by sex, by bigotry, by capitalism, and how inescapable this manipulation can be. The irony of reading this book on audible, an Amazon company, really hammers this point home.

The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

This is such a fun and creatively weird story. I am so glad I could listen to the performance as it was just as fun and weird. The sheer number of unique character voices was incredibly impressive and they were all excellently done.
