The love that split the world 

The story of a girl who gets visions and falls in love in a  kind of urban fantasy setting, with First Nations folklore and stories interwoven 

It's confusing, what with the world jumping and all, and I frequently found myself lost as to what was happening. They kept trying to explain a fantasy story through science and it was... a little strange. 

I honestly didn't feel the romance. I thoguht they had some cute banter moments but otherwise I found it a little lackluster 

The family dynamic was really sweet, and so was the friendship with Meg. I was highkey annoyed at the therapist. I absolutely could not stand the ex and didn't think he deserved forgiveness 

The ending was... weird and felt kind of rushed. It was very very confusing and felt like just dumping information on me. It was emotional though
I wasn't sold enough on the romance for her to sacrifice herself for him though


PG 13 for swearing, talk of sex, and suicide and darkness
