I like a good YA novel but this was not my favorite. Plot feels so cobbled together with too many different magic/supernatural tropes forced to coexist. Couldn't follow the logic of it. And the plot twists were boringly predictable. Did not find the characters appealing either.
Graphic: Child abuse, Physical abuse, Classism, Death, and Domestic abuse
Moderate: Suicide attempt, Alcohol, and Gun violence
