Main Lesbian Character |

Category: Science fiction
Summary: I'm not sure there is a single heterosexual in the book. The main female lead has an affair w/a woman. Most of the men are bi, if not gay (you only see most of them having relationships with other men, but you never know). Everyone's sexuality seemed pretty darn fluid. Besides that, the politics were interesting.
