not really sure how i feel about this but i don't think i liked it very much.... i dislike the parents, i think the mental health rep, while i guess could be accurate for some people, would definitely be triggering for some. the things the MC was doing, would have made more sense if she was aged up a few years. it was fun seeing twelfth night retold. i feel like some of the side characters were more interesting.

An unlikable character that I could not relate to, who thought with her clit instead of her head. No plot to speak of in the first third of the book.

I don't tend to like YA that much and this was very cringey in places but I wanted a wlw romance and this was recommended on tiktok so I tried it. I enjoyed the romance but I also liked that it wasn't the focus, really this was a book about family, feeling like you've let people down, survival, inheritance and trying to become a better person. There were some proper adult themes which I appreciate in a book about teenagers because teenagers experience adult things too. It made me reflect on my own experiences and the shipwreck genes I've inherited. I know the feeling of trying to look to your family tree for answers and finding the real answers a lot closer to home.

this is the first time I have loved a YA book in years - it's queer and beautifully paced with the right amount of sad bits and hopeful bits and all about human connection. YES MORE

I saw this book on booktok and have been so eager to read it ever since. I'm happy to report that it lived up to my expectations, such a great read. Lovable characters, gripping plot, sapphic girlies. What else could you need?
