Loved this book, took a while for me to get into it with the chapters jumping between 4 characters. But once I hit the half way point I struggled to put it down. 

Love the way she writes so clever and funny and the characters are so well rounded, can't wait to read the next book !

This book is fantastic

Identity politics and why it is so important are explained through a world different, but also scarily similar to our  own, which  is what makes it message so  powerful. This is the Harry Potter generation shooting a few messages loud and clear and also with no small wit. Don’t be fooled ɓy the pretty pinķ cover, this novel is not a fluffy read. The message contained within are to important. Definitely not for kids either, just in case you were wondering.
