Pet emezi review5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Pet isn’t one of those YA novels where a dystopia masquerades as a utopia and the protagonist has to take it down. For one, I was refreshed by the fact that Lucille is an actual utopia. ![]() I’ll start by saying that the audience for this book is probably on the younger side–maybe middle school? But I still loved it as a high schooler, and I think adults would probably like it, too. As she starts to unravel a sinister mystery, Jam must learn how to hunt a monster when everyone keeps denying they exist. Even worse, Pet says that the monster lives in Redemption’s house–one of the safest places Jam has ever known. But Jam starts to suspect that this may not be true when she meets Pet, a creature who says it’s here to hunt a monster. She and her best friend, Redemption, have been taught that the monsters who used to roam the streets and halls of power have all gone. Pet follows Jam, a girl who lives in the city of Lucille. Look, I don’t often recommend hyped-up YA books, but this one is well worth your time. I’ve got a cool-looking scar, a new cochlear implant, and three fantastic books to review, so let’s get to it! First, the futuristic Pet by Akwaeke Emezi. Surgery went really well, and I’ve started the long process of learning how to (sort of) hear out of two ears again. I’M ALIVE, SUCKERS!! You try looking this cute post-surgery. ![]()
