Blurb from a JoCoNaut:

"2024 Hugo Award winner for Best Novel. In her speech accepting the award Emily Tesh claimed it was a book that she hoped would be quickly "forgotten" in the way that it tries to speak to hate groups today in the hopes that they go away or get better. It opens with a ton of CW warnings that are warranted, but it makes strong use of them. It reads like a part of the conversation with a lot of recent YA fiction such as The Hunger Games, and Divergent, but it is ultimately somehow both darker and, by the end, more hopeful. It's also something of a counter-novel to Charlie Jane Anders' "Unstoppable" YA trilogy, in a fascinating conversation. The book probably doesn't actually count as YA given the CWs, though. I think it could make for fascinating Book Club discussion."
