This was such a captivating read full of complex relationships and examinations of the effects of trauma. The characters weren't loveable, but they felt so real, and I loved the structure and how it combined the past and present. It was heartbreaking and beautifully written. If you love stories that make you feel deeply, I would highly recommend Brother & Sister Enter the Forest to you.

Thank you Netgalley for providing a digital ARC.
