The language used in this book was beautiful, but I don't think I was fully invested. I love yearning but this book took it to the realm of toxicity which made it uncomfortable for me (I don't think that was intended)

Also?? Can we talk about the kiss. I get that it's poetic that way, but seriously. Kissing a five year old version of your lover on the mouth, couldn't red just do a blood pact? I don't think she was genuinely attracted to the five year old version but she was definitely thinking of blue during the kiss. Idk hella sus for me
