Good! (May I add, queer undertones?)
Elena and Lila are such interesting foils and their progression is so subtle that the gap between them is jarring when you realize it.
Very intrigued by the end, looking forward to reading the next one
I personally don’t love accounts when they’re still children/teens and that definitely shows in the sense that it took me a bit to get into it
