There's a lot of sex in this book, but it's not all very sexy. It is often there to like, drive plot or reveal circumstance. I think for the husband stitch, Machado said in an interview that somebody referred to the husband stitch as a work of erotica. She was like, did you read it? That's not what that story is about. Listen, let's not shame anybody. No, we should shame anybody who, well, I'll tell you about the husband stitch in a second. Again, I do think it's a missed opportunity that is not Lulu and Stitch fanfic.
