An amazing dystopian novel! Really interesting to have one set in the UK, I think it made it so much more tense and sucked me in as it mentioned places I have not only been to but currently live. The characters are classicly flawed never-asked-or-wanted-to-be main characters in their own ways, and the dynamics are great. Never tire of a queer relationship that doesn't revolve around the "horror" of being queer.
