This is a very cute story that lightly touches upon homophobia and animal death. It does show depictions of deceased animals along a road, as well as various animals' bones. It also lightly touches upon a person discovering who they are as well as working towards healing familial wounds. The content tags appear rough but in general a child between the ages of 8 and 13 will be able to handle them, especially with post-reading discussion.

NOT ME CRYING BECAUSE I DID NOT EXPECT TO FIND SUCH A WHOLESOME, DELIGHTFUL STORY 😭

Picked this up as part of my Halloween reads. Ended up reading a wonderful story about queer love through the years, queer identity, the magic around us, and finding your own power 🥹🥹🥹

This was just so, so good. The art, the colors, the storytelling, the atmosphere?? I just loved everything about this 😭 I need to see more people talk about this book.

I wanted to read this book for a while and usually when that happens, a book is just dissapointing, but this one wasn't. I really loved it and will definitely be rereading it. It is a fast read and it just feels good to read it. Lots of positive LGBTQ+ representation too. 

Reading notes:

Snap thanking the witch is every employees dream.

The way the witch changed her experession when hearing that Snap is named after her mum's favourite flower.

Snap's mum standing up for her in the book store.

The sightings of the one-eyed Tom look like they are kinda in E. Carrol's style, where the background is black and white and the creature is very vibrant. It looks so good. 

Snap and Lulu just being nice to each other and talking about their interests with each other.

Snap's mum being nice to Lulu in just a casual way.

Am lowkey heartbroken because of the reason that Jacks does not want kids.

The love story between Jacks and Jessamine.
