A beautifully written book, that tackles some heavy themes in a tactful, powerful way. Awkwardly accurate teenagers, with the side trope of romance. Only gets points off due to the practical nature of the magic realism however a great, easy read otherwise.

I absolutely could not put this book down.
This is the best combination of so many types of genres and stories; it's got supernatural abilities, and romance, and class struggles, and heists, and so much heart. It's such a page turner that I read almost the entire thing today--I just needed to find out what happened.
This is such an amazing YA debut and I can't wait to read Ann Liang's future work. Thank you to Netgalley and Inkyard Press for the chance to read and review this ARC.
