Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great debut novel set in a slightly dystopian world where you get another shadow if you are convicted of a crime or hurt someone. Shadesters have reduced rights, wish extra time for healthcare and pay more for everything.

Kris (a shadester) and Beau (a NoShad), a lesbian couple, have a baby with a sperm donor and Beau dies during the birth. Kris and is left to raise the baby, who has a second shadow, on her own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such rich language and the grief really comes through from the page. Had to read it across multiple sittings because my heart would ache for both the main character and Laila.

Worth a read!

(Messy kitchen but I bought myself flowers!)
