This book was wonderful! If you're looking for a space adventure with lovable queer characters, goldfish, and plenty of badassery, this is the book for you.
This book, while set far into the future, talks about issues we're dealing with today. Homophobia and Transphobia running ramped all over the world, and in Junker Seven, all over the Galaxy. The way the characters spoke about their lives opened my eyes to perspectives I've never been able truly to envision as a queer cis person. I found it inspiring, and the lessons I learned will probably stick with me for a long time. Thank you to Olive J. Kelley for allowing me to read this as an A.R.C. and thank you to whoever reads this, now go read the book!!
