Bitter is the prequal to Pet. I read Pet last month for the Trans Rights Readathon and it brought me to tears. It followed a young girl named Jam and her Pet as they went on a hunt for a Monster.
The world this girl lived in was a utopia of peace and acceptance. There was no such thing as violence. No raised voices or hands. It was taught that the angels defeated the monsters so they could live in a safe world.
Unfortunately, the adults chose to keep the kids ignorant which led to someone being abused and unable to communicate it or even understanding that it was wrong. The adults in Pet frustrated me.
Bitter features those same adults as teens. Revolutionaries fighting tooth and nail for equality and peace. Fierce and determined to change the world for their children. This book is filled with brutality hate, and blood.
Reading it has helped me be more empathetic to the adults in Pet. But the fact that I know who the future abuser is, is triggering. Especially because in this book we get to see firsthand how much passion and heart they have for the cause. For creating a better world, for fighting for justice.
This is thought provoking, emotional, and hopeful. I highly recommend BOTH Bitter & Pet to be read and discussed.
