Yours For The Taking is an exquisite debut novel.  An exploration of feminism, queerness, climate change, and striving for equality. 

Jacqueline Millender has a plan of what the future can be like, and she has the means to make it a reality.  Only select applicants are accepted into the Inside Project, leaving many to perish alone on earth. 

I loved the friendships made by the women inside the project. And the tenderness and compassion shown to each other. The plot was intriguing, and I was compelled to read as quickly as my crazy life would allow. This novel is thought-provoking and a critical reminder of what happens when we advocate for change within social justice movements and exclude or diminish a portion of the population we should be advocating for. 

I was pleased to find out there there is a sequel planned, and I'm really looking forward to how the story progresses. 

I received a complementary digital copy from the publisher through netgalley. All thoughts and opinions of the review are my own.
