I've read a lot of YA books over the years I've enjoyed, but none as much as this. The whole way through I kept imagining how happy my teen self would have been with Felicity as the main character, she is astonishing.

What I liked about this as an adult was the ideas I've read in other books (The Essex Serpant, ES Thomson's Jem Flockhart series, Bodies of Light by Sarah Moss) are all here, ideas that female protagonists of the time can be lots of different things and based in fact. Those books all take place later in time - Felicity is fighting for her future 100 years earlier and is a trailblazer.

Queer feminist writing for the ages: I am literally going to be thinking about Felicity forever.
