I would give this book 1K stars if I could! There’s so much to rave about — the devastating queer romance at the heart of the story held in contrast to the horror of a world that calls into question the very definition of dystopia and the dystopian genre — the resounding call for abolition, and the call to the reader to deeply question the system of mass incarceration that we’re all embedded within one way or another. This book fucked me up! But if there’s one book you read, it should be this!
