I struggled a lot with this book. Certain aspects of the plot were handled really well, and I think the relationship was good - but so much of it just seemed creepy to me. And the last chapter was frustrating, but I guess it worked in context.

okay ik this book is so angsty and dramatic and messy but it resonates with my angsty, dramatic, messy soul consistently

Read for Tarot Readathon 2021: Queen of Wands


This book was just perfection and I just adored the characters and the themes throughout it. It made me so emotional and for being a high school romance, I feel like it dealt with everything perfectly. The end also was written so well and I just loved every moment of it. I couldn't put it down.

So good! I’m happy that I finally read Dear Ava, after seeing so many people rave about it. The book deals with very heavy topics, and does so very well. It was an intense book that grips you from the start, both Ava’s and Knox’s stories.

Steam: 🔥🔥🔥
