4.0

One of the big plot points was obvious to me from the beginning, and I didn’t mind. The other big plot point I knew was coming because I read the acknowledgments first, as I tend to do,

but still missed how it happened and who it was

.

Even with the spoilers, I still found this little town and its drama fascinating.

A sapphic YA book with practical magic vibes. Ace/aro representation. Cute and sweet. Writing wasn’t anything new, but the story was comforting. If you are gay and have lived in a little coastal town, you might enjoy. And what? No homophobia or coming out plot?! Content warning for SA

This was a wonderful story of sisterhood, friendship, love and hardship. There was ace, bi and lesbian rep, as well as some other good conversations (check content warnings). I deeply loved this little book.

EDIT: after reading some reviews, I find myself agreeing with some of the negative comments about this book, and yet, I still stand by my rating, which I now realise is deeply subjective. It just gave me that fuzzy feeling in my chest that only the best books can.

Minor: Death of parent

A parent dies by drowning, it's not described very graphically, but it's there.
