How readers react to this novel will largely depend on how they react to Sasha. Both she and her creator clearly understand that she’s a whole situation—radically insecure and spectacularly self-involved, emotionally demanding but never not playing a role, impulsive while never losing sight of her immediate goal.
Though there’s a bit too much exposition, Davis delights in upending concepts of gender and sexuality. It’s more digressive than propulsive, but it’s worth adding to the weekend bag.
