Y'all, I can't with this book. It was so freaking good.

We follow Kara who's one skill in her current life is that she is dead on over 160 parallel worlds. This means that she can travel to the other worlds and gather data.

The story twists and turns and is filled with Sapphic longing. It's a story about the endless possibilities of who we are as people, the endless number of ways we can harm each other, and the endless numbers of ways we can heal each other. 

I loved it. I'm going to reread it. And I just can't believe how good this book was.

I'll be honest: If I wasn't reading this on a coworker's recommendation, I probably would've DNF'd midway through due to the dark and violent nature of the plot. I'm glad that I carried on, but I definitely recommend researching the Content Warnings before diving in if you find yourself having a grey day. I will end this brief review with the note I sent my colleague upon finishing: "Could've been gayer."
