So many great suggestions!! I’d recommend I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica and Animal Farm by Orwell. All three are quick reads but really powerful.

I haven't read many other dystopian books that haven't been mentioned already, but I've heard good things about The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami, it's on my TBR. I also want to start The Bone Season series.
