I loved this book! I was so pleased to find it not only had 2 queer main characters, but also characters of different gender identities. It also includes main characters of different ethnicities. So often, books will throw in a character with "golden skin". It was so nice to see some actual representation in a book. Plus, I found the story so enticing that I could hardly put this book down! Quite the page turner, and I can't wait to dive into the second book!
Graphic: Death and Violence
Minor: Sexual assault
