This gritty and beautiful book should become a cult classic if it is not already. The author does you the kindness of assuming you know how this future world works, and skips the nerdy explanations to jump right into an intriguing spy/detective story. Total immersion into a polluted future that is centered around the world's water supply, told from the perspective of a gay rich girl who is forced to become someone else. I am not sure I will swap this out before I read it another time.
