Synopsis "Crosshairs"
USA TODAY&;s 5 Books Not to Miss Vanity Fair&;s Books To Get You Through the Winter Marie Claire&;s 2020 Books to Add To Your Reading List PopSugar&;s 20 Books Everyone Will Be Talking About Cosmopolitan&;s 20 Books to Read this Winter &;A beautiful, unapologetic, and unwatered-down...dystopian [novel] that holds a sobering mirror up to our own world&; (Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author) from the author of the acclaimed novel Scarborough.In the wake of the escalating global battle for economic and social justice, award-winning author Catherine Hernandez has crafted a dystopian tale of love, friendship, and resistance set in a terrifyingly familiar near-future. Crosshairs births an indelible landscape of memory and uncertainty as Kay, the gay son of Filipino and Jamaican immigrants, is on the run from a fascist regime operated by a paramilitary group known as the Boots. Those who fall at the bottom of the Boots&; social stratification are rendered &;Other&; and subsequently sent to work camps. They suffer violence that pushes them further into this otherness, although the new regime labels these sweeping acts the &;Renovation.&; Kay&;s account of these events is a silent letter to his lover, Evan, from whom he is separated when the Renovation&;s plans fall rapidly into place. When Kay finds himself on the run again, he lands in the front lines of a civilian-led movement called the Resistance. There, he discovers the answer to his question: &;I wonder what could possibly happen in my lifetime that would have me running. What would mean enough to me to fight against it?&; Crosshairs grapples with a matrix of oppressive systems perpetuated by environmental disaster and state-sanctioned violence. Amid the flames of hatred and distrust, marginalized communities rise against the repressive structures that see them as anything but human, and with this, a thrilling message of hope is forged.
