I cannot recommend this highly enough. I’m obsessed with books that are shameless in their representation, books where the characters are queer and disabled and Black and there’s no apology for the absolute cornucopia of human diversity. Adrian is a character I relate to very very deeply and many points of this book were hard to read but dear God it was worth it. Lee is a master of life after survival stories, and I am incredibly jealous of her talent.
