Made me cry!!!!
Gideon is crude and funny and brave and kind and a delight. Teenage jock lesbian forced to goth, wears sunglasses about it.
The plot is So Much (positive) and the Central relationship has pulverised my heart (positive but. OUCH.).

This was such a fascinating intelligent book with so many twists and turns. I tried really hard to follow it all but there were I think too many characters for me. I wasn’t able to get invested in the characters in the story as much as I wanted to be. I also was hoping for it to be a little bit more about love stories and it definitely was plot and about badass women. Such an interesting world and overall a very cool book.
