Absolutely loved this. The dissonance between the present and past was impeccable, and it set this really uncomfortable tone of "everything is normal" and also "nothing can really be normal again." A wonderful breadth of queer characters with complex identities in the story and on the page. A powerful gut punch on the topic of SA and violence against women. It made me seeth and sob. So very, very well done.
