Book Moot: Yours for the Taking by Gabrielle Korn
Starting off the year's book club books with a mesmerizing story of queer love, betrayal, and chosen family, and an unflinching indictment of cis, corporate feminism; Yours for the Taking by Gabrielle Korn
The year is 2050. Ava and her girlfriend live in what's left of Brooklyn, and though they love each other, it's hard to find happiness while the effects of climate change rapidly eclipse their world. Soon, it won't be safe outside at all. The only people guaranteed survival are the ones whose applications are accepted to The Inside Project. The director of the Inside being built on the bones of Manhattan is Jacqueline Millender, a reclusive billionaire/women’s rights advocate.
Shelby, a business major from a working-class family, is drawn to Jacqueline’s promises of power and impact, and she's swept up into the glamourous world of corporatized feminism. Also drawn into Jacqueline's orbit is Olympia, who, the more she learns about the project, the more she realizes there's something else at play.
As Ava, Olympia, and Shelby start to notice the cracks in the system, Jacqueline tightens her grip, becoming increasingly dangerous in what she is willing to do—and who she is willing to sacrifice—to keep her dream alive.
