You know when you’re sure a book is going to be amazing but difficult and that’s why you put it off? That’s me with this book. And it was amazing. If you’ve ever enjoyed dystopia, if you want to read about abolition but heavy non-fiction doesn’t feel accessible - read this book. The story and the characters are so engaging, but it also has quite a few footnotes calling out the real-life laws that make this society not far off. 
This book also does an *incredible* job of acknowledging the wrongs characters have done and forcing readers to reckon with the characters’ humanity and how WE treat people.
The ending of this one had me wheeze-crying when the “we hope you have enjoyed” rolled and honestly, when a book earns that, it’s going to stay with me (looking at you Vivek Oji). So yeah you should read this.
For queer readers - the main story, and the MC, have a heartbreaking, devastating present, but as I read about the past, I was especially impressed with how the book forced me to reckon with my own feelings. I’m re-reading In the Dream House right now, and [MINOR SPOILER] the MC’s past is basically as the villain of ITDH. 
So anyway, yeah, I found the writing and the internal struggle and also the like, feeling that there is a right answer, even though it’s okay to struggle with that feeling, so so good. 
I really want to pick up We Will Not Cancel Us next, I feel like it would be a good companion nonfiction for this aspect.
