A fun book with an entertaining cast of characters! I liked the way the events alternated between the cell and Anya’s past. And the ending was a fascinating reframe that left me thinking after finishing in a way I really enjoyed.

Boring, no discernible plot, long tangents that did not connect to anything.

This book was so boring. The incredible events are just not incredible/interesting at all. The main character has no personality. I feel I don't know her at all and I don't in any way care about her. The only vaguely interesting part is the discussion of the LGBTQ+ experience in russia, which is a minor element of the story. Again mildly interesting political discussion but this is too small an aspect of the book. I wouldn't recommend this book to a friend.
