Naomi Kritzer's Liberty's Daughter
I honestly thought I was depressed bc I was feeling so meh about reading, until I picked up this book and was immediately into it! Turns out I was just reading books I felt meh about! Anyway, this is I think based on a bunch of short stories of Kritzer's turned into a novel—it reads really seamlessly, anyway. The central character is a teen girl in the near future who lives on the “seastead,” which is a libertarian-founded community out on the ocean, and her father is one of the prominent community members. She has a job tracking things down for people, and thing really kick into gear when, in exchange for a pair of sparkly sandals, she’s asked to find a missing woman. Everything about this was great—the characters, the world-building, the politics. Just super engaging and satisfying. A.
