The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski
4.0
In the world where, for some people, it's illegal even to wear colour or eat sweets, two girls dare to question every rule... And fall in love in the meantime.
The Midnight Lie was on my radar for a really, really long time - at least couple months I think. So, of course, when I finally got this book in my hands my expectations were really high. Luckily, I can assure you that this is indeed a really good book, with some amazing lesbian representation and interesting worldbuilding. I loved how the class injustice was explored, i loved how the author showed her main character struggling with compulsory heterosexuality and I love how toxic relationship was handled here - these are some heavy themes but Rutkoski has slayed it.
I absolutely adored the main ship in this book - Sid and Nirrim's chemistry was incredible, I loved reading their banter as well as all that yearning between them. And the ending of The Midnight Lie had me absolutely shocked and in desperate need for the sequel.
