OH MY GOD THIS WAS SO GOOD BUT ALSO I CAN'T STOP CRYING!?!?

I love Poppy SO MUCH and ALL of the characters are so well developed and three dimensional and REAL. There was never a point where I wondered why they did things because... everything made sense?
AND THAT ENDING. OH MY GOD. SO MUCH CRYING. but also I wanted a little more for when I JUST HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!
full review to come (probably) closer to the pub date on kaitplusbooks.com!
thank you SO SO SO much to NetGalley, Marit Weisenberg, and especially Emily Day at Macmillan for letting me read an early copy!
