A very nice read. I wasn’t aware for a long time in the book that we were in fact not in America. But it didn’t make it difficult to read which was good in my opinion. It’s crazy I’ve had this book for almost 3 years and I was just know reading it. It took me sometime to finish but that was mostly because I couldn’t find time to read it due to always being tired. But I finished it at work and I’ve been reading it on shift instead of being on my phone. Anywho back to the book, I give it an 8/10 because I loved Maeve’s character development as well as Roe’s and Fiona’s. Also since the main time the book takes place in is about a month so we really get to know our characters. I also like that the book made way for more relationship development between Maeve and Lily, seeing has how Lily wasn’t immediately forgiving of Maeve’s previous action but is allowing her to atone for said actions. I may get the 2nd book just to see how exactly Aaron the asshole gets his ass kicked.

This was wonderful and hard to put down--though the anti-queer Christofascists pissed me off. They need to be hexed.

44%: Wow--a sea monkeys reference... about an hour after I finished listening to an American Hysteria podcast episode about Sea Monkeys!

“I lean my head on his shoulder and wonder just how much easier life would be if I weren’t in love with Roe O’Callaghan. But, oh god, how boring.”
