Week 35 Review: Into the Real

From Goodreads:
Three Quinns. Three realities. Three Brumes.

The first Brume is a waking nightmare, overrun by literal monsters and cutthroat survivors. For Quinn, who is openly genderqueer, the only silver lining is their friendship with Lia—and the hope that there might still be a safe place somewhere else in the world.

The second Brume is a prison with no bars. Forced to "sort out" their sexuality with other teens at Camp Redemption, Quinn must also figure out why presenting as female has never felt quite right.

The third Brume is a warzone. For Quinn, who presents as male, leading the Resistance against an authoritarian government is hard, since even the Resistance might not accept them if they knew Quinn's truth.

As Quinn starts to realize that they might be one person alternating among these three worlds and identities, they wonder: Which world is the real one? Or do they all contain some deeper truth?

You can't run from the monster. The monster is you.

My Review:
This book was just so fantastic and unique! I loved reading about the different Quinn's, in the different Brume's! I enjoyed all 3 of Quinn's different lives for different reasons, the different friends, and the different threats that they faced!

This book was about Quinn's identity, what pronouns they use, what gender they identify with, in different worlds with different rules. Because one Quinn presents as female, anther as male, and then one who is qenderqueer.

The funny thing about this book is, that since it's the same Brume, there's a character or two who is in more than one Brume. But again, different worlds, different people, and how in one Brume, Quinn would be friends with a character, but in another Brume, they'd be enemies, it was just so fascinating!

There's also the question of, what's going on? Why are there these 3 worlds, and a different presentation of Quinn in all 3 of them? I really enjoyed that ending, Quinn really learned who they were, and which version that they would like to be, and that was so great to read!

Another great book from Z Brewer, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!
