I enjoy books with this vibe. Spooky but in a magical way. Coming of age? I don’t know. But I thoroughly enjoyed it and the twists it threw out.
Diverse characters entangled in mystery and magic and each other.
3.5. Mostly because I was confused half the time but very interesting nonetheless
Everything is important in this book! Every little detail matters! She keeps you on your toes. She keeps you guessing. She keeps you in shock. This book is amazing! Definitely suggest this book to anyone and everyone!

I got this book sent for free by Penguin Random House for an honest review
I tried reading this today. Made it about 100 pages in and I still wasn't enthralled by it. I decided to read the last chapter to find out if the ending was something I was dying to know more about: I wasn't. I didn't care for the ending and I felt a disconnect throughout the first 100 pages as well.
The thing that ruined it for me was the first person perspective. Usually FPP is fine, but not when the perspective changes every chapter. One book, one protagonist and one perspective: great combination. One book, three protagonists and three perspectives: why?
If you don't mind this then by all means read it. It has mystery, magic, "witches" and LGTBQ relationships. I think it has the potential to be liked and loved by others, we just didn't click.

It was okay, I didn't really like it. I loved the characters, especially Olive. But with so many characters I was utterly confused the entire time and it really prevented me from getting into the book.

This was very good, but I’m not sure it will stick with me. Maybe I’m wrong, and if so, I’m come up my rating. It was darker than I expected (not a bad surprise for sure), and I liked the story a lot. I saw the “twist” before the characters did, but it was good.
¿He leído este libro por el titulo y sin apenas saber de qué trataba? Por supuesto.
Creo que a estas alturas ya todo el mundo sabe que me lanzo de cabeza a los libros sobre magia, con toques witchy o cualquier cosa del estilo, así que estaba claro que tardo o temprano leería este libro. Y al final prácticamente lo he devorado, pero no puedo decir que me haya gustado. ¿La razón? Muy sencilla: tiene varios narradores. Que en parte está bien, pero en mi caso sieeempre termino perdiéndome.
Terminaré esta pequeña reseña con un resumen: por la parte de la magia todo bien. Me ha gustado el tema del libro. Tema narradores varios mal, pero porque yo personalmente me pierdo. Así que es un ni fu ni fa.
