2020 Best Book Awards Finalist Fiction: LGBTQ "In this novel, Lahey's prose is lush but surprising, describing a deeply imaginative world. . . . The author's Earth of the not-too-distant future is an intriguing, alien place, and readers will delight in watching Quinn move through it. An engaging adventure set in a deftly illustrated future."
-Kirkus Reviews "The supporting cast, including [Quinn's] best friends, a robotic meerkat and a tough yet witty guerrilla fighter, are interesting in their own right, and almost steal the show. Lahey's debut is the beginning of a trilogy, so it is fitting that it ends with a cliffhanger, leaving readers unsure of Quinn's next steps in an increasingly unstable world."
--Booklist ". . . an inherently fascinating and fully entertaining read that showcases author Sarah Lahey's impressive flair for originality and the kind of narrative storytelling style that keeps the reader's attention fully focused from cover to cover."
--Midwest Book Review "The author's creativity shines through in her ability to narrate and create precise imagery. . . . I recommend this book to all lovers of futuristic sci-fic narratives."
--Online Book Club "This is an impressive first novel . . . highly entertaining, thought-provoking, intriguing, and meticulously researched."
--Readers' Favorite, 5-star review
