As an easier general rule of thumb, if there's scissoring and they're enjoying it, it was written by a dude.
Scissoring where the two partners are practically on their backs with their legs stretched out and entangled at odd angles is designed for a voyeur rather than personal pleasure, yes.
I don't really think there was any of that in this work though. Closest would be p73 in Chapter 5, but they were grinding on a toy held between them rather than each other. And even if there wasn't anything there, the way the position looks on p74 (one partner 'on top' during the act and holding the other one to grind on) absolutely works for many people.
The other two instances of tribbing (Ch1 p90-p91 & Ch7 p14) are also both real and very much possible to get a lot of pleasure from with the right partner.
The whole 'lesbians only scissor in porn / real lesbians don't scissor' thing is a myth. Unless we're talking exclusively about the specific voyeur-focused position I mentioned at the start, in which case it's more truthful. The problem arises when people try and literally deny the possibility of any enjoyment from any 'scissoring-style' position just because they either saw someone say it doesn't work or because they didn't like it personally. Hella lame.
