She reviewed many of my books. Most of them had a strange, hallucinogenic aspect to them that indicated she just skimmed and read the back copy, but ONE of them she had clearly read in depth, and liked, and gave a pretty detailed review of.

Amusingly, the only one of my books that her review suggested she'd actually read she HATED with a livid, fiery passion.

Really??

Which one, if I may ask? I don't think I've ever SEEN a negative Klausner review.

From memory, I think it was "Rule 34". Lots of Scottish dialect, multi-viewpoint second person present tense, crimes that don't exist yet, and with two exceptions all the characters were LGBTQ.

I think it challenged her expectations somewhat. (She thought she was eating a chocolate chip cookie and discovered she'd bitten into a pickled onion.)

Are you counting the AI as one of the non-LGBTQ characters? Because if not, I can't think of the one that isn't the Toymaker. Multiple second person, while fun to read, made it difficult for me to coherently remember minor characters.
