"I'm not hurting people," Mimi pouts.
"I'm hurting boys."
Bria, to her credit, throws me a sideways glance and asks, "What are your pronouns again?"
"Uh..." My throat still feels raw from being choked within an inch of my life. "I'm cool with really anything. I'm fluid."

This part absolutely cracked me up. I really enjoyed this a lot more than i thought I would! As a nonbinary person it was so nice to read something from the point of view of another genderqueer person! Would’ve loved a bit more horror in it but I really loved the book as a whole. The ending has devastated me though,
Mars already lost their whole family and they couldn't just have a happier ending with Wyatt at the end? 😭

I picked this up on a whim on Libby and had a slow start getting into it but it was well worth the time and I'm going to be thinking about it for a long time - the emotions were evocative, the prose was wonderful and descriptive. The only problem I had was that being an eBook meant I couldn't easily flip back to gawk at all the foreshadowing every time the plot twisted (and the fact I wanted to is clearly a pro rather than a con). Even the more baffling twists felt earned once you parse what's happening which is a big thumbs up in a world of unfollowable twists for the sake of twisting. I loved this book.
