Versions of a Girl by Catherine Gray
3.5
I wasn't a big fan of how the book was written with a non linear narrative, but I found the story very captivating and hard hitting. Fern/Flick's problem with her parents and past trauma and how she dealt with it exactly unhealthily was interesting to read about
PET by Akwaeke Emezi
3.5
slow at first but once the pace started to quicken it was a really easy read. I like how Emezi built Lucille as this place in which they intended to be some sort of utopia, and also how Jam's identity as a trans autistic girl is just a part of her and not a main focal point of her character as she is accepted in Lucille
For the Good Times by David Keenan
3.5
a violent portrait of life in Northern Ireland during the troubles told from the perspective of an IRA member. It was an easy read as the writing flowed well, however I didn't like how the women were objectified.
The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
5.0
really great conclusion to the trilogy. the romance and war elements were on point
