#Poisoned Primrose#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#this is pretty alright?#I feel like this could have been really good if it went full whimsical………#but instead it kinda. has whimsical elements but a really ‘normal’ narrative style.#so it kinda just feels in that weird basic-writing kinda area#asexuality is kinda awkwardly discussed. why does she keep calling her best friend her ex when they dated like. over 10 years ago I think?#and just the mention of they broke up bc the other wanted sex which is FINE but it felt not thought out. not the worst trope but an annoying#one...... like just that being the narrative reason to bring up asexuality instead of thinking of a relevant reason#love interest is also ace! but also is a cop. don’t love that. (well a detective)#MC is almost 40(?) which I also liked and discussed being diagnosed autistic later in life!#(also a HP reference)#so aside from those things it was fine? I enjoyed it well enough for a short book. I might read the others!#or I guess I have a few issues with it but it is easy to read lol#asexual books#shes bi ace also
