The Unnaturalists by Tiffany Trent

I have mixed feelings about this one.
Interesting worldbuilding - a sort of a mix of alternate universe and alternative history, set in the future, feels steampunkish but is really quite considerably different in nature - but .... then there was the requisite mooning over a pretty young man, and the plot was kind of meandering around and only really got somewhere towards the end (or rather that's when I realised that there is a plot at all), and I never really properly warmed to Vespa, and ... eh.
I liked bits of it quite well, and then there were bits where I struggled to keep awake (my usual reading time is around between 7-10 pm, so it's not like I actually read in bed with the aim to fall asleep), so... yeah. Mixed feelings.
