More Than Utopia by Benjanun Sriduangkaew

More Than Utopia by Benjanun Sriduangkaew was fascinating. When the aliens arrive, Jirayu's wife Yvette disappears from the world. Another Yvette from a parallel universe appears some time later, as their bond makes them a cognate pair.

This is not a fluffy book, Jirayu is a weapons dealer and Yvette is her bodyguard. We even see some instances of them die. And yet I was entranced by the author's writing style, successfully reflecting the story's intensity.

Jirayu is Thai. There's major f/f, as well as several non-binary characters.

ETA: I am no longer recommending this novel due to Benjanun Sriduangkaew turning out to be Requires Hate. More info here.
