5.0

This book covers such a wide range of topics and themes it's hard to put into words what I liked without just saying "all of it" but that's really how it feels. There's so much to love but my favorite is just how intersectional this book is. To someone with many intersectional identities it's so healing to see these types of characters on the page. This book also is stunningly original the directions the plot takes from one moment to the next would be impossible to predict. Not to mention just how beautiful and well written the book is. It feels like every line is quote worthy.
