This was such a great mix of goofy and funny explorations of cryptids with two wonderful characters who brought out the best in each other.
The concept of the book, involving a web series based on a podcast about cryptids and other unexplained sightings and conspiracies was so much fun.
I'm not a fan of near instant love but the relationship was done so beautifully here that I really enjoyed this book.
It tackles some very important life issues like toxic masculinity and the toll being a caretaker of a loved one takes in a very realistic way.
I appreciated how supportive Hayden and Hallie were of each other and I think that was the best part of the book for me. I loved them both from start to finish.
