The Seep by Chana Porter
4.5
emotional inspiring reflective tense fast-paced

A very quirky and profound take on grief! This was the story of a trans woman dealing with a (somewhat) friendly, yet controlling alien invasion. We are taken on the journey of her life before the invasion, and how the world progresses after everything changes. Eventually, her wife decides she wants to be reborn as a baby so that she can experience life without the trauma of the world before the invasion. Though this was a quick, fast-paced story, it still was very emotional! Would recommend for sci-fi lovers, as well as those interested in a story of how someone’s trans identity affects them in a time where identity is being erased.
