When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill
4.0

This book was slow to start, and felt too wrapped up in trying to make particular points about sad things. But then I found the fabulous gay aunt, and the incredible relationship between the narrator and her younger cousin, and then got invested in the complications of 1950s women legitimately becoming dragons and all the fallout from there on. Definitely not a book for everyone, but I suspect I will be thinking about this book for a while.
