i really enjoyed this book, but in a simple way. it was difficult to get into at first, mostly because the dystopia felt too based in reality, but as i pushed through, it was difficult to put it down. the character development is a bit strangely paced, but the overall story is something that i have been thinking about daily both while reading the book and now that i’ve finished it. would recommend!

Yours for the Taking is the gatekeep gaslight girlboss meme turned into a stunning novel on dystopia, climate change, gender, and corporations.
In the novel, we follow three women, along with their friends, families, hopes, and dreams, from their 20s, in 2050, through their 50s, in 2078. Along with Ava, Shelby, and Olympia, we watch a climate crisis worsen, a CEO billionaire girlboss try to play God, and normal people try to survive.
This is a diverse and beautiful story about feminism, queer love, family both made and found, and shaping the future. It's a little slow and slice of life, and the drama and action aren't really there - the squabbles are small, really, as many of the dilemmas are more moral/ethical in nature. It's also much more of a women's fiction and technology book, in my opinion, and lighter on the science fiction/fantasy. I kept hoping as time went on that more technology would be put to use, but it feels fairly similar to 2023 tech-wise.
Even with my minor complaints, this is one of the best fiction works on climate change and corporations I've read. Highly recommend! My thanks to NetGalley, Gabrielle Korn, and St. Martin’s Press for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

i truly believe this author has never read a dystopia in her life. or a book that discusses gender in a normal way. or one about how to write climate change. maybe any book?
