The Outrage by William Hussey
5.0

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

To say this is set in a dystopian world in an unknown year (where a 2030's car is considered a classic), this book was terrifyingly relevant and gave Handmaid's Tale vibes. I loved Gabe, Eric and Arthur's stories, and how they are treated just for loving, and being who they are is utterly heartbreaking. Definitely check out trigger warnings if you're going to read this as Hussey was not messing around. Would highly recommend.
