Leslie Ylinen“Melissa Broder comes from the John Waters school of shock value as a strategy. She overshares and horrifies as a way to distance and disarm but if you can get past the filter, you’ll find someone dying to be heard, understood, and connect. The Pisces is a gender swapped retelling of the mermaid myth in which a woman falls into an obsessive love with a fish-man. It’s an incredibly profound exploration of love addiction and the bottomless need for validation. …but you will need to get through a lot of anal.”
