I was so entranced by this book that I read it in one day. Beautiful and tragic and hits way too close to home, but it was phenomenal. It's very lyrical and character driven, and I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea (heed trigger warnings!) but it certainly left an impact on me. I highly recommend it.

One question - was the author high when she wrote this because....what?

I didn't hate it, but I'm also not sure this was successful? I think it needed shortened just bit, but wow this was a timely read. Also the beginning of this dragged and that did a huge disservice to the pacing. The ending was a bit unclear, but that is normal in speculative books like this.

As we all watch America fall closer and closer to bills like this become a reality, especially in red states, this was startling to read. However, that's the amazing thing about speculative/science fiction: close enough to what's really happening to scare you. Now if people would open their eyes, that would be great.
