The Midnight Lie, by Marie Rutkoski

Born into the lowest caste of her society, Nirrim keeps her head down, follows the rules (mostly), and doesn’t attract attention from the cruel, capricious High Kith… until she meets a sassy, rulebreaking foreigner who slowly makes her question everything about her society and even her own family. Love the slow-burn sapphic romance, which develops as the characters develop more trust in one another; the background of Nirrim’s society provides intrigue and danger by turns. Really interesting reveal at the end; it will be interesting to see whether the author has written herself into a corner.
