โThe truth does not change whether it is seen or unseen, it whispered in her mind. A thing which is happening happens whether you look at it or not. And yes, maybe it is easier not to look. Maybe it is easier to say because you do not see it, it is not happening. Maybe you can pull the stone out of the pool and put the moon back together.โ
(There were too many incredible quotes to choose from)
This book really left me heartbroken. It is powerfully written, the story and pacing is gripping and makes you read it in one day, the characters are very diverse, and the setting is in a futuristic utopia of sorts.

As a polyamorous non binary person, I felt very seen with a three parent household, with a similar structure of my partners and I. I love seeing a happy trans person where that's not the plot. The selective mutism is so good. I saw a lot of my queer community in this novel without that being the plot or point of conflict!
The themes include: not having black and white thoughts of morality/justice, not becoming too safe in your community that you ignore red flags and dangers, but also how important community is.
If you're interested in reading it, I will include a cw of child abuse, not detailed, but very much there.
