The Knife of Never Letting Go

This was okay. I was invested, it's a great study of “make everything terrible and then make it worse” and upping stakes and there was definitely lots of effective tension and action throughout, not to mention the voice and premise are absolutely unique.

But IDK. As a trans person, I'm not really an enormous fan of stories whose entire premise relies on how different boys are from girls and vice versa. There were some things I certainly appreciated about this book, but the gender stuff kind of killed it for me. YMMV.
