CW: death, alcohol/drug use, addiction, violence, abuse, pregnancy & sex work mentioned. one character practices the art of henna, both for work & for pleasure, which may read as cultural appropriation to some readers.
this book was overall a wonderful read. it has found family, ghosts, grief, love, and coming of age at different points in ones life. a multi-pov book with a little bit of a mystery and hard to put down. i laughed a bit, rooted for the residents of the dellawisp, and got a bit emotional with the ending. i definitely recommend this one, especially if you enjoy a contemporary novel with a little magical realism sprinkled in.

I adore the found family aspect of this book. It’s devastating that they all felt so unloved as children, but I’m so glad they all found each other at the Dellawisp. I was so invested in finding out their back stories and rooting for all of their happiness.
The “ghost stories” were interesting and unique. I enjoyed the history and point of view each one offered.
