I absolutely loved Upright Women Wanted, and am looking forward to reading more of Sarah Gailey's works. Post apocalyptic (dystopia in the future? not quite fully explained) queer romance where Librarians are gunslingers delivering information (both legal and illegal).... what more could I ask for? My only qualm with the work is that it is a novella rather than a novel as I desperately wanted to read more about thee characters and the world in which they inhabit.

Really great for a cast of queer women and nonbinary people, within a fun sci-fi setting. But, I did feel that the inner turmoil of the main character dragged on a bit. This may not be the case if you yourself are still struggling with accepting your own queerness, and would love to do it alongside a character in some rather exceptional circumstances.
