The Slow Lesbian River

First off I have nothing against lesbians but I would prefer to read a book that doesn't use it as a major plot element two thirds of the time. I did like that everything in the book was simply there and did not try to explain the how or why of things being the way they were. The cyberpunk elements were downplayed even the biotech that made up most of the tech in the story was barely used. It was strange reading a book that tried to encompass three stages of the same persons life with a minimum of time involvement. The characters were remarkably shallow for how much of the story was spent building them up and were unrealistic, even for a future society. Slow River is a good title for it because it takes a very long time to wander to a point that is not far from where it starts just like a slow moving river does in reality, except for the fact that real rivers are faster and accomplish more with less wandering.
