Amanda reviewed Really Cute People by Markus Harwood-Jones
A buzzfeed quiz from 2013 [book]
2 stars
This book is laser targeted towards queer millennials. I say this as a queer millennial who used to live in a destabilising collective not entirely dissimilar to the one described at the start of the book. The book makes excruciatingly dense reference to eg avocado toast sandwiches and all the rest of it. It’s entire tone is very buzzfeed quiz which quirky queer are you and for some reason it references some of those DIY space heaters a lot. Like, almost as an ad a lot.
I guess I’m supposed to feel pandered to, but I don’t. I just feel exhausted.
