3.0
As someone who reads A Christmas Carol pretty much every year around Christmas time, when I heard about this modern-day, lesbian re-telling of the book I knew I had to read it. After opening it this morning, I found it hard to put it down again, so needless to say, it didn't disappoint. Ebenezer sort of felt like Dickens with a Rivers of London vibe, if that makes sense, and the writing (though awkward in a couple of places) was beautiful. If you like your Christmas reading to be both queer and depressing, this book is for you.
[Some trigger warnings though (skip this if you don't like spoilers of any kind): child abuse, discussion of suicide/suicidal thoughts/suicide attempt, self-loathing, minor ableism, minor warning for disordered eating due to financial struggles. I think that should probably cover it?]
