These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong

4.5

While I understand the qualms people all over the internet had with this book, it did not bother me at all.  I was drawn by the setting of this story (1920s Shanghai, with raging gang wars), but I stayed for the characters: we have powerful women, LGBT+ representation, enemies to lovers (

where they actually almost kill each other for once

)
