Great book, didn't know whether I was going to like it or not but I did!
Quick plot summary, it's basically the handmaid's tale except it's about the LGBTQ+ community instead of women. It about how they try to live in a world where they could be killed because they are deemed of loving the 'wrong' person.
It's so heartbreaking at moment but the ending, oh the ending! I'm not saying anything but I really hope there's a sequel in the future.
I also didn't realise how new this book is, I became way too shocked when they did a quick mention to 'its a sin' which came out this year.
If you enjoy angsty story with the idea of hope all through it and to see how people are treated, this book is for you!
