The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'Donoghue
4.0

This was such a thinker, and that's why I loved it. What a hilarious, they emotional way to question my ethics and what I would do in a unique situation. It grabbed my attention much more than I had anticipated it would, and I quickly was hooked. The relationship between the queer characters in this book was so nuanced and believable for me. I really felt connected to Rachel too, and I felt her love for James through these pages. It was a gorgeous story about friendship, love, queerness, and the choices we make for those important to us.

Thanks so much to Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor for an eGalley of this one in exchange for my honest thoughts!
