This was a wild ride of a read!
Initially, I was pretty confused by the time jumps. the confusion didn't completely go away as I read on, however, the intense, horrifying, emotional plot had me invested the entire ride.
This book is a surreal read, especially considering the current state of our society. The LGBTQ+ community is under attack, both visibly and more quietly like this book.
This will be a dystopian read that will stick with me.
