Spring, before. When Lucy is six years old she finds two things that will change her life forever: she is an Omni that can control fire, and her power is deadly. Under the sharp watch of her secretive father, Lucy is confronted with the consequences of the worst mistake of her life every day. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, things finally seem like they are getting better -- with the promise of freedom at college on the horizon, and the dream that Jessa, the girl of Lucy’s dreams, might reciprocate Lucy’s feelings. But in an instant, everything changes. Winter, now. Incarcerated and stripped of her rights, Lucy’s new world is behind locked gates and antiseptic interrogation rooms. Like other Omnis, Lucy is separated from her family, seen as a criminal for trying to live with other humans, and locked away -- possibly forever. But Lucy and her fellow Omnis aren’t going quietly into submission.

I gave this back to our Teen Librarian & told her to give it to every angry girl/young woman we have. Which she then promptly stuck it into her own stack to check out 😂 As a narrative this falls down at places. It's under 100 pages long & could have used a few more to flesh it all out. Mi-Na really doesn't think through her actions & I'm not convinced the author did either. Still totally recommend to all the angry (espec #queer) women out there.
