Also, I love an epistolary novel the constraint required makes for a more interesting story, sometimes. Nothing gets me hooked more than something people are disgusted by - I just have to know what’s up. I keep seeing posts on BookTok about it, and a lot of book influencers have talked about how shocking and horrific it is. Mary: When you mentioned that y’all were reading this book, I knew I had to force my way into the discussion because I’ve been wanting to read it for a long time. We also have a guest with us this time! So welcome, Mary! What made you want to join Queer Girl Book Club for this particular book? Agnes seems desperate to find connection, and Zoe… well, her motivations are a little less clear and something I think we should discuss. Agnes meets Zoe when she’s trying to sell her apple peeler on a queer message board. It’s a novella written all through e-mails and instant messages between two women who enter into a BSDM relationship with each other that’s entirely virtual. So where does our latest one fall on the scale? This time, we’re discussing Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRocca. We’ve read some great books, we’ve read some okay books, and we’ve read some really bad ones. Emily: Welcome to another edition of Queer Girl Book Club, which is now past its inaugural stages and is in full swing.
