This is so good! Particularly I enjoyed how the other S. Dakota people were represented. "Allies" hiding in unlikely places, while you still are very aware of the results of an election that has not happened yet (quotes b/c you cannot be an Allie and vote for someone like Rose).
I thought the characters were realistic, the setting was perfect & the writing was easy to read and enjoyable without talking down. LGBTQ relationships are so complex. Often times it is the younger, more courageous person that helps older in the closet people, and The Cause in general along. Marsha P Johnson was 23 when she threw that brick. I say this as someone who easily gets the ick from age gap and power dynamics relationships, I thought Abigail and Erica's relationship was fantastic. It might have been too much pressure for Abigail, but we are quickly shown she knows how to throw up her boundaries and use that block feature when she needs. I also think she gets a lot from Erica, a sense of community and purpose. Though both are not great friends a lot of the time. I thought Brooke's character was one of the most interesting, I will continue to think about her.

Really genius POV work! Scenes that absolutely move! And it's no surprise someone who's written for Yellowjackets can write the hell out of a teen, but still! Incredible debut, highly rec.

I just loved this book. The characters are hilarious and so relatable. The scene where Constance is pissed in the car and doesn't want to talk about it.... God have I been there. I just really love and felt all the feels with this book. I feel like it should be required reading. I think it's my best book of the year so far 😍
