“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.”

I've been excited about this book for a while. And with good reason since it lived up to everything I wanted from it and more! I wish this was better advertised as being a super queer book. While the MC is straight, her sister is gay and has a girlfriend. The love interest is bi and gender nonconforming. The book deals with hard topics and the way progress ignites hate. But it was fantastic.
