I’m not sure how she made a generation ship going nowhere sound appealing, but she did. Can I live on the Exodus Fleet now?

Confusing, but wonderful
5 stars
While the book can be kind of confusing from time to time, it’s a wonderfully written exploration on what it means to live in a world where you don’t fit. All the characters in the book have to find what it means to love, and how to love, outside of societal standards. I would definitely recommend this to other queer people as well.
And the bits about the crocodile are also a joy to read, a bit of levity and distraction from the heavy feelings that so often occurs in the rest of the book.
