realjame reviewed Corey Fah Does Social Mobility by Isabel Waidner
Fantastic and unique in every way
5 stars
I loved it. There's a lot to love about it. Of course, the theme about social mobility as the title says. The plot was really off-the-walls in a lot of ways and everything the book was building up came together beautifully in the final 20 or so pages. Loved it!!!! I thought the prose, as well as how the story and character interactions is explained and told was done really uniquely here. It bends traditional writing styles, sentences tend to be more blunt and streamlined, but still rich with meaning. Will I write like Corey Fah's style? Maybe not, but I have learned that I have a craving for books with unique writing styles. This book is also queer, and it's written by a queer author, and I had no idea about that going in but it was pretty swag to discover :^) and it definitely gave the book extra …

Y'know, I opened Bookwyrm and I thought I wouldn't write a review for this book. I'm not good at writing reviews. But when I sat down and set the rating to 5 stars, I couldn't click post. I couldn't accept keeping my thoughts in my head!! So here you are, and you got to read them. :-)
With that said, I'll definitely come back to this book sometime, it's easily one of my favorite books I've read... well, maybe ever?
