We Set the Dark on Fire
by Tehlor Kay Mejia
"Trained to be the perfect wife, Dani was never supposed to fall for the other one."
At the Medio School for Girls, young women train to become one of two wives to powerful men — and Dani, hiding forged papers and a border-crossing past, has just graduated top of her class. Then the resistance comes calling, and so does Carmen, her beautiful rival-turned-co-wife. Dystopia with teeth and a sapphic slow burn.

The Handmaid's Tale meets Latin American borderlands — with a rebellion worth rooting for.
