Everything is irrelevant.
Everything is important.
Everything is important, until it is irrelevant.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Until you cannot.
Memory is malleable. History is mutable. All I can do is try to make sure my story isn’t lost. I have saved what I can, so you will understand what we have become.

I listened to the audiobook of this, and honestly I wish I could hear it for the first time again. I found it by using shuffle mode on Libby and had absolutely NO idea what it was about upon starting. I'm so glad I did though.
Unlike most dystopian novels, this one is not during the unquestioning after a society has been set up but instead in the before and during (mostly). We are allowed a front row seat to how this alternate timeline ended up where they did, with glimpses of how people are propagandized throughout.
A mid paced story with a haunting LGBTQ+ romance, this book was close to perfect.
