Just like all of Clare Pooley's other novels, this one was a very worthwhile read. The characters are all quirky, the drama is compelling, and the stakes are relatively low. Highly recommend.

I found this book to be very helpful for where I'm at in my life. If you're struggling with religious trauma, or even just with existing as a Christian in a world where that term is so often (correctly) associated with white supremacy, patriarchy, homophobia, transphobia, nationalism, fascism, etc.

Doctorow does a really good job of building out the world and the society that the main characters live in. This book still fell prey to the one complaint that I have with Doctorow's fictional writing, which is that all of the main characters (regardless of age/gender/etc) seem to speak with his voice. An example of this would be an adolescent teenage boy calling a teenage girl "a good egg". I have trouble seeing a young person actually talking like that.
However, even with that minor nagging complaint, this was a great book!
