4.0

Overall I really enjoyed this one. But it’s kinda hard to tell if I loved the book itself or if I just felt deeply connected to this story as a former field hockey player from Massachusetts who’s obsessed with the Salem witch trials. The writing was pretty dense at times, which made some parts hard to get through,  there were so many characters to keep track of, and the last chapter felt really thrown together. I think there was a lot more potential here. But ultimately I really loved the plot, the message, the characters, and the vibe.
