2 minute response:
I picked up this book at the library after hearing about it on and off through the past few years. I am so glad I did.
This book weaved history, science, and social justice in a book. It used multiple points of view without being confusing or overwhelming. While I didn't fall in love with these characters (in the technical sense) - i saw them as full characters, and as real people.
It is possible to read this book without knowing that it's a book. It's not until I put it down that I fully realized how distinct and different the world of the book was. And while there were so many elements that were outside what would be considered "normal," this book was able to push the bounds of normal and create a world that didn't feel any different.
