We're going where we won't slut shame you if several men, a few women, and the odd salt vampire have gone before!  We're talkin' bout Darmok and Jalad between the sheets!  That's right - we read Imzadi!

Courtney doesn't know anything about Star Trek.  Sara has a tattoo in Vulcan.  Neither of us are really down for a book with FOUR  FRAMING DEVICES and at least, at LEAST, four? timelines.

So.  Ugh.  God.  Like, you know Troi and Riker are exes, right?  (Courtney, that's The Hair and The Beard.)  Let's say this is the book about their prior relationship and leave it there.  Let's not discuss the time travel plot that ends up with somebody going bowling with Data's head, the completely unnecessary device of starting the book at the end of "The City on the Edge of Forever", the fact that you have to remember throughout this book that we're talking about Beardless Riker, and the cringeworthy conversation between Admiral Riker and Captain Crusher about how all the dudes used to jack it to Troi's ridiculous outfits.
