Didn't love it. I love indigenous representation but I didn't like how the ghosts were approached, so not for me.

Really fun blend of horror and romance!
I think the mystery elements fell flat, but overall this was a fun book with some important and nuanced conversations about identity, responsibility as a writer, and things I can’t say without spoiling.
I do wish I could read Pen’s book “The Lies They Told Us”! Maybe someday 👀

I couldn't pay attention to who said what most of the time. The POV was not it for me. The narration was great!

Some parts were good, but others just didn’t seem to fit. The horror/spooky didn’t hit for me. It felt too much like I was being told rather than shown the spooky. The conclusion to the ghost story didn’t really make sense. And then once I was almost done with the book I found out the author may have been lying about her claim to Cherokee heritage. So I’m not sure how I feel about this story in light of that. I finished but won’t be recommending.

I... could not finish this book without both skimming and hate reading this. From the description and cover, I was going to love this. Instead, I hate it. I got whiplash from how quickly things were swinging from one way to another and I definitely couldn't find any situation in which these characters would have ever felt any of these feelings described. For me, this just wasn't it.
