Someone You Can Build a Nest In

Loved this book. It was a little like Grendl, told from a monster's POV, but with great dark humor in the beginning which sucks you in. Then when it gets serious, it's too late. You're hooked and have to see it to the end. It's the most original and imaginative book I've read in a long while. It was nominated for a 2024 Nebula Award, having read two nominees so far, this is the one to beat.

It presses all the right buttons for me.  Inventive story, great writing, dark humor.  I came to love the main characters despite one of them being a gross monster.  And I was caught up in the unfolding of the asexual love story.  I simply loved the great feeling I got whenever I picked up the book.
