Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke And Other Misfortunes

I was so thoroughly disappointed with this book. All the stories fell flat, and the writing was just horrible. Each story felt like a first draft making it confusing and quite annoying to get through. Often at points in the stories, I forgot why I was even reading about this or that. The characters are all flat to the point it feels like there are no emotions in this book. We were told how the characters felt but that’s not enough.

The story which is the main title of the book was probably the best of the stories. Even then the jump from somewhat eloquent letters to short DMs was jarring. The wording used was often cringy. The relationship has no build-up and is a straight-to-bastardized version of a BDSM connection. It was less BDSM and more punishment for no reason. I did like the line what have you done today to deserve your eyes. However, the impact of this is lost due to the lack of build-up or real human emotions.

This book was not worth reading though with each story getting worse.
