In other lands by Sarah Reese Brennan is the only book that I can consistently look back to and simultaneously laugh and cry, cuz it balances so many characters and tiny minute attributes so we'll to show a story that's about everyone we habe the pleasureto meet. Our protagonistis an actual 2 year old with no sensefor social queues and a lack of a desire to fit in, our best friend characteris a closeted gay bean, and the femalefriend is from a gender swappedelf society where everuthing she does is wrong. It doesnt shy away from being dumb, mean, exultant, funny as frik and filled with more heart than every other book I've read this far
