I loved this one. The characters in the romance actually communicate and attempt to talk thing out with each other? wild?! Unabashedly a queer story for the queer kids filled with rage and the queer kids who never got to be out without scrutiny, who always had to hide from their family. And ESPECIALLY for all those queer kids with religious trauma.

This book tickled my religious trauma in ways I didn't know were possible... But also in the best way possible.

SO FUCKING GOOD BRO
u should read this if u want a 10/10 queer horror book that has a p wild and original plot and shit

Also this is the second book ive read this year about religious groups at the end of the world which is cause by a ‘flood’- what does this say about me?

The only thing is i wanted a bit more at a couple points esp the last lil bit

‘Stand on any roof, wall, or hill tonight and watch the world slow down. Watch it empty.’

‘In what world was their God ever a benevolent one?’

‘If they believe in judgment, let them feel it.’

Wow. Wow wow wow are my lasting and not very articulate thoughts after finishing this book. I throughly enjoyed the very deep insights into religion, religious trauma, and gender identity that this work centers around. How insightfully written and creative. I'm going to be thinking about this one for a long time, I think.
