Pet
by Akwaeke Emezi
As you can see from the stickers all over the cover, this book is AWARD-WORTHY!! This story is so bizarrely interesting and unique - and usually when I use those descriptions its because the book has over-the-top gore or perversions and just batshit crazy things happening. I say it here because I'm just wonderstruck by the story and how it was presented. The future utopia of Lucille has gotten rid of all monsters - rapists, billionaires, police, etc. Now our protagonist, a transgender teen, has accidentally summoned Pet, a hunter who says a monster is still in Lucille. And kids and teens can see and accept things before adults sometimes. And this story shows we CAN get rid of the monsters... but we have to acknowledge their presence before we can stand up and fight. Just a BEAUTIFUL and haunting story. 5⭐
