Why did I love this book?
Exalted follows two women, Emily, an Internet astrologer, and Dawn, a lesbian waitress looking for a connection of any sort.
Dornās writing is sharp and funny as she tracks the way that both women are forced to scrape together a living. I love to see a character at work, and Emilyās wry sense of humor as she manipulates viral trends and conjures somewhat bogus readings is a powerful engine for the story.
As the novel progresses, the main charactersā lives begin to overlap, and you begin to wonder whether some destinies are really written in the stars as any good astrologer would insist.
