i feel so happy thinking about the experience of reading this book---the premise, the queerness, the eco-feminism, the sex-positive---and it makes me happy to think that this could be someone's introduction to soft sci fi.

The book dredged up my sense of loss as I read it, and it didn't resolve it, but it made me feel good about it.

Thanks to the person who recommended this as a staff pick at a bookstore in Richmond, VA...I don't remember who or what bookstore or where exactly :)
