Glory O'Brien's History of the Future by A.S. King
5.0
Oh goshhhh I love A. S. King. This reminded me of like a fusion of [b:The Handmaid's Tale|38447|The Handmaid's Tale|Margaret Atwood|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1294702760s/38447.jpg|1119185] with... uh... other A. S. King novels. Mixed with a bat.
Glory's visions of the future were super haunting to me, in the way that Handmaid's Tale and other prescient political dystopias are. But her narration of the past and present were equally compelling. It's so realistic that Glory would be in some ways very self-aware and in others clueless--I think we all have blind spots like that. She's someone to cheer for as she figures things out. <3
