I stayed up until 2AM finishing this book. Set in a near-future dystopian America where the state has cameras in every house and “criminals” are visibly marked by being given an extra shadow, it‘s in part a look at American fascism and the violence and oppression of our carceral culture. But it‘s also very much a book about bow grief lives in us, about the anxiety of parenting, and about the beauty and defiance of queer love.
