A review by itskatietano
We Were Restless Things by Cole Nagamatsu

1.0

Edit 2023:
When I think about this book, all I imagine now is the author doing crack and making the trees/lake come alive and making the step siblings fall in love and have a very uncomfortable sex scene that should not be in a YA book

In general I really liked this book, however the forest confused me and Jonas and Noemi's relationship just didn't sit right with me. I still don't think I fully understand the lake and the forest in general even after sitting on it and thinking on it for a while. And I'm just not huge on step-siblings turned lovers, even though Jonas and Noemi aren't true step-siblings. Other than this, I really did enjoy this book. I liked the characters and how each character is a different kind of person.
