Hello! I'm Q (any/all), an Oxford Writer and Mathematician at Trinity College. I've written a queer literary novel, called Roses, Violets, Robots, and would like someone to read it!

It's a queer literary novel about two friends, Tessa and Lien. Tessa is a famous, bestselling lesbian author and Lien is a hidden, unknown mathematician. Through selected chapters from Tessa's unfinished final work, an autobiography called My Story, and Lien's journal entries, you'll see how their friendship blossoms and fades, and how their lives are reflective and influenced by those around them.

There are many difficult themes covered in this book, including gender dysphoria, depression, escapism, alcoholism, addiction, trauma, child abuse, self-harm, sexual harassment, rape and suicide.

If anyone could read this and review it, that'd be amazing!

Just want to note that this is a substantial edit from the previous request on here. A lot of the plot has changed, and the word count has increased around 18,000 words

I'd be up because your premise seems intriguing. (I work as a copywriter/ copyeditor as a day job if you need credentials :D)

What sort of a review are you looking for? I might not be able to help much with the spelling/grammar, but I'd be happy to read for the plot and the general readability/engagement.

2 things to note:
I'm on the harsher side, so please make sure you are okay with that and
I'm not sure what time frame you are looking at, but based on my current schedule I could read through it by the end of November (granted) or earlier if the workload is not too demanding at my workplace (and my fics).
