First of all, ignore the bad reveiws because its just hate preached by tired TERFS who have nothing better to do than spread hate and are just mad because someone had the guts to put all their nastiness and hate down on paper for the world to see. Grow up you absolute rockets.
I've had this on my tbr since it came out, and won a giveaway from a friend on Instagram who has done nothing but praise this book to high heaven, so I had big expectations going in and I was really excited.
It did not disappoint and it was incredible. It was a wild, ruthless ride from start to finish. A brilliant distopian with such a horrifying concept. It reminded me of The Last Of Us. You could never tell what was coming.
I've struggled to write this reveiw as I can't really put it into words so I'm probably just gonna ramble.
This was so unapologetic and horrific and gory and beautiful. Its a tremendously heavy read and it was painful to read in parts; but it also made my laugh so hard my sides hurt, and it made me sob like a baby. There was nothing this book did not have and it did not hold back.
I loved the characters so much on every level. They were so layered and complex and completely dysfunctional but they just fit so well together, like missing jigsaw pieces, and you just root for them at every single turn.
Although this was a dystopian, it felt so real. You could feel the frustrations and sadness seep from the characters and up through the pages. The TERFS made me so angry I wanted to scream and jump into the book and the story just was woven so beautifully.
There's diversity. There's love. There's hate. There's found family, and queerness and guts and gore and everything in between. Please check TW's before you read this though as it does get very real and heavy from the get go, but it's so worth it and it's a book that everyone should read
I feel like words cant do this justice. Im so happy a book like this exists and is out in the world. This was a fantastic queer horror that had firmly put Gretchen Felker-Martin on my autobuy list.
