howlinglibraries's review against another edition
5.0
A gay main character who's obsessed with horror films, an ominous gothic mystery taking place in the ranch family's vacation home, and a syrupy sweet forbidden queer romance? Sign me up.
I absolutely loved this graphic novel! Cade is such a sweet little softie and I adored the Henries (especially Henrietta). I appreciated the content warnings in the author's note at the beginning of the book, as this book does involve a fair bit of the cruel realities that queer teens (especially in rural areas) are used to living through, and I thought it was all balanced really well with the fluffy bits to keep things from getting too sad.
I highly recommend this graphic novel and will most likely be grabbing a finished copy for my shelves, because this is the sort of story I could see myself revisiting for sure!
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.
✨ Representation: Cade is Latinx and gay, Henry is gay, Dale and Alice are Black
