Queer writing, about queer people, in an apocalypse, in the 90s, in a dream state. Also did I mention it’s Queer?! Love.

The premise of the book is really interesting and very unique. The book manages challenging subject matter well with the right amount of humour and realism. However, some of the relationships, such as those with teenagers, felt uncomfortable and could have been written with older characters and not impacted the story arc.
