YA FictionThe XY - Virginia Bergin
Posted March 24, 2021 by Jem in Books

I'm an occasional reader of young adult books and I'm nearly done with this one. Has anyone else read it? I wouldn't say it's a great book but overall, I like it. The premise is that a virus killed all the males and they are kept in sanctuaries to keep them alive. Regular society is all female.

Reviews on goodreads are mixed but the woke especially hate it.

From a Goodreads review: « A lot of reviews claiming it’s TERF territory ». Say no more! added to to be read pile

I'll be interested to hear what you think. I didn't check the reviews before I read it. It occurred to me while reading it that certain people would be upset.

I will let you know! I have a huge pile of books I would like to read so it might take a while when I'll get to it though haha.

Only it seems to me the opposite scenario is the more likely!
