Like a House on Fire by Lauren McBrayer
3.0

quick thoughts as I’m returning it to the library: why aren’t more people talking about this @belletrist pick? It’s got spicy sapphic romance, timely feminist themes, and is an absolute page turner - taut with ‘will she, or won’t she?’ vibes. 
My only beef was that the crux of the main character’s problem was completely glossed over for a quick ending, and I think including the hard work of facing her issues head on would have made for a more complete and believable story.
