A unique, poignant and moving novel and one that becomes all the more terrifying when you ponder over how easily the sate of our own society and political landscape could shift this from a dystopian category to contemporary. I found this to be a fascinating, heart-aching and incredibly cleverly written read and one I'd love to revisit at some point in the future.
Graphic: Homophobia
Moderate: Transphobia and Deadnaming
