Emily Henry's debut book took me by surprise in the best way possible. As a fan of her typically heartwarming and cozy reads, I wasn't expecting this dark, fantastically twisted narrative. It's a departure from her usual style, exhibiting a new depth and poetic richness in both description and storytelling. The shift in genre towards a mysterious, fantasy-laden plot with an undercurrent of forbidden love and a haunting family curse added layers of intrigue. This departure from her usual style left a strong impression on me, making it a standout piece in Henry's collection. If you're into enigmatic mysteries coupled with forbidden romance, particularly in the YA genre, this book is an absolute must-read.
