This was a relatively short read and a great one for October. It’s definitely YA, but enjoyable regardless! 

Pros:
- The vibes are immaculate: Spooky Girly Sapphic Medical Body Horror
- characters were equally likeable and flawed. 
- it was a great read if you watch “Yellowjackets” and are waiting for the 3rd season to come out. Similar vibes and scratched the itch

Cons:
- i wish we learned more about the Tox itself! I thought the whole
global warming aspect
that gets sprinkled in towards the end is really interesting. And the
worms
were super cool too. I personally would have loved to have more of the scientific elements fleshed out
- the romance is pretty brief. If you’re looking for a fully fleshed sapphic horror romance, i’d look elsewhere. I still enjoyed it though!
