This book was such a trip. The more I read the more I truly felt like I was the one losing my bearings on reality. I loved the dark academia setting and the descriptions of the forest were so beautiful and alive. 

The tension and story between Thomas and Andrew is heartbreaking and tender. The amount of representation in this book is so cool too. 

The story passages were amazing and give such amazing insight to Andrew and his view of the world and himself. 

I did not see the twist and it absolutely shattered me. Everyone should absolutely read this book.
