~ rep: gay trans white mc (he/him), vietnamese genderqueer mc (he/him), lesbian white mc,
ghosts on a murder spree? SIGN ME THE HELL UP!!
the story takes quite some time to build, and you may even think that at some point, it does get a little bit preachy bc nothing happens, there's just a whole lot of secrecy with a bunch of kids and a super villainous town at the helm of it all.... BUT once you hit that 72% mark, THE SHIP IS SAILING Y'ALL!! 😭😭
i love reading about ghosts getting their revenge i love reading about trans people i love reading about friendships that can transcend time and even deathi love reading about trans people in their binders, it fills me with sm joy!! 🥲❤️
also, rage is good and i feel that there are not enough books about angry kids(/people) who go against the oppressive system to bring about real change as we all should!!
~cw: death, anxiety, transphobia, underage drinking, vomiting (minor), death, murder, violence, gaslighting, use of slurs,
