Thank you to NetGalley, Emma Hinds, and St. Martin's Press for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
I was hooked from the first page of this book. I've never read anything like it. This book explores grief and the experience of being nonbinary. It follows Orlando, who is a shapeshifter with no control over their shifts. Every time they shift, they change their physical form from female to male. Orlando was there when their girlfriend died. They believe it's all their fault, which leads them to have troubling thoughts. There are mentions of suicide. Please, read with care if this is triggering for you. I loved the way Emma Hinds explores these hard topics through a plan to do something unthinkable in a witchy college setting. I highly recommend this book!
