♡ Spooky Setting

♡ Friends to Lovers

♡ Found Family Vibes

This book was everything!  I knew I’d like it but wow this was seriously so good.  It was entertaining and the spooky vibes of it were immaculate.  And the formatting was absolutely stunning on the inside.  I loved all the illustrations at the top of each chapter.  

The characters were honestly so addictive to read about I loved how they interacted and I loved the friendships.  Sal and Pax were so cute together and I really enjoyed their vibes.

It was really nice to see the mental health rep too, and how well it was written into to the book.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, Scholastic, and Chicken House Imprint for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the read a lot but some parts felt a bit rushed and unfinished, although not unsatisfying. It's not world moving but still makes you think a bit. Over all a good but not amazing read.
