I loved Addie so much and resonated strongly with her character. Very accurate discussion of what masking feels like, and of sensory issues, between Addie and her other autistic sister, and I liked the exploration of the ‘eccentric old lady who lives in the woods and everyone is wary of’ trope. Plus, witches and social justice…not much not to love here!
