Tripping Arcadia by Kit Mayquist
medium-paced

Check trigger/content warnings!
Overall I liked the writing and the characters and the premise. I thought the ending was pretty decent too at the very least it was satisfying enough. I think some of the more sinister feelings/thoughts could have been more amped up especially when it was talking negatively about the rich and the mystery of Jonathan's illness. I think the realization of what his illness was was a bit rushed feeling. I wish there was more focus also on Lena's knowledge/execution of plant knowledge.
I would be willing to check out more from this author in the future even though I didn't love this.
