Be gay! Do crime!
I absolutely loved this book, even though I spent the first half thoroughly confused at the plot. You gotta love a bunch of badass queer people creating change. I wish it had been longer, honestly going more in depth into this world: how the society worked, the librarians mission, & Esther's past with Beatrice would have made for such a more flushed out story. Though so enjoyable I wish I got to spend more time with the characters and really dig into their personalities as well as the world around them. Overall it was a fun & short read that I'd recommend if you want a queer western dystopia!
