emotional hopeful tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

this is everything i love in a young adult novel - from the representation through the Indigenous characters and ace/demi sexuality exploration, along with the interweaved discussions of racism and mental health 👌🏼

it has a little bit of mystery, a heartwarming love story (coming from the person who doesn’t like romance), and some heavy tragedy. recommend this to the teens in your life and maybe pick it up yourself to the soothe the inner teen inside of you
