The creativity in this collection absolutely astounds me. Acid taste by emilie galindo is a curious collection, I feel like it’s something that must be read over and over to truly understand.

I did not like this book, not even sure if it was a book. too much was going on, but the plot wasn't really there/not being followed. think it was a hot mess of a writing piece.


Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

Acid Taste is described as experimental which really excited me because I love when narratives are told in a new way, but to me this experiment failed. I spent so much time while I was reading trying to follow the plot, and sort through dialogue/stage directions/music lyrics, that I didn’t have an opportunity to feel immersed in the story or to become attached to the characters. I think a lot of the ideas are really cool and if this was a longer novel where I had more time to acclimate I might feel differently.

There were a few striking quotes and moments where everything worked really well, but they were quickly lost with everything else going on.
