I honestly don’t know how to talk about this book. It’s such an amazing representation of trauma and guilt and all the things we fear and repress. The healing that happens in this book and that i got from reading it was just perfect and the way the author writes the relationship between the characters is so beautiful and heartwarming. The ending was a little anticlimactic in my opinion but it was still amazing and still a 5 star read.

This is my first Nina LaCour - and won't be my last. It is sad, haunting, mesmerising, and hopeful.

soft and very evocative writing. not a whole ton of plot but the twists that were there caught me way off guard. i was expecting more of a romance for some reason but the story worked fine without. just a cute dreamy little farmers market summer camp story.

there's a scene in the book where the main protag listens in on a couple having sex then masturbates to it this isn't exactly a tw warning for anything specific but the main protag was... weirdly possessive of a child in the story and not in a 'I see you as my kid and want to protect you way'
