A review by abbievillehorror
Adaptation by Malinda Lo

5.0

If I had had this book when I was in high school, it would have been a revelation. Even now, it touched my soul in a way no book ever has. Beneath all the sci-fi elements, Reese's journey to figuring out her bisexuality is so real. I've never had a book so accurately represent my own journey to figuring that out. I know not everyone's experience is the same, so this won't necessarily hit everyone as hard as it hit me, but damn. Malinda Lo is my hero.

The sci-fi was also good, though. Very well thought out and a great balance between conspiracy theories, mystery, and sleuthing with some well-developed familial, platonic, and romantic relationships to keep it grounded.
