Buddy read with Shan 💜
I love this book. I love Jess. I love the blending of spirits in everyday life. I love the way the magic exists as such a casual part of the contemporary world. I love Jess’s growth and her strength and the way she interacts with Ah Ma and Black Water Sister. The familial relationships and the complicated feelings about coming out and not wanting to shame her family. Ah, just wonderful on so many levels! Zen Cho continues to prove why her books are auto-buy for me!
