What a delight. Folky vibes, enemies to lovers, with beautiful descriptive prose and a setting that felt built by Hozier. I loved both the main characters- especially Margaret who avoids all the tropes of the usual YA Heroine. It is a much slower pace than I usually like but I so enjoyed the writing that I appreciated spending the time and wanted to stay even longer. Saft did a great job of avoiding bland, predictable tropes and I found myself frequently unsure what was going to happen next or how things would flesh out.
