Yours for the Taking by Gabrielle Korn
5.0

4.5 Stars rounded up to 5. This novel is perfect for those that enjoyed Naomi Alderman’s The Power.

Dystopian gem 'Yours for the Taking' by Gabrielle Korn, set in 2050, explores survival in weather-safe havens led by Millennial tycoons. The narrative weaves the lives of Ava, Olympia, and Shelby against the ambitious backdrop of Jacqueline Millender's Inside Project. The story, though compelling, could benefit from streamlined character organization. Korn's debut delves into queer love, betrayal, and corporate feminism, skillfully using the dystopian genre to critique societal constructs. Fast-paced and thought-provoking, it tackles toxic feminism, capitalism, and gender norms. A captivating blend of speculative fiction and social critique, leaving readers anticipating Korn's future works.

Thank you to Gabrielle Korn, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for pre-approving me to receive an electrical Advanced Review Copy of Yours for the Taking. All opinions mentioned in this review are my own.
