This was really cute. I didn’t find it as atmospheric as A Far Wilder Magic or as riveting as Down Comes the Night but it was a fun romp, with interesting characters and sweet romance. I liked Neamh and the complexity of all the characters. But there were details I found lacking and plot points that seemed to meander. My favorite thing about the book, though, was the undercurrent running through multiple characters about how prior generations can really mess us up and we alter our lives based on their expectations. Neamh’s tendency toward people pleasing and shrinking herself to not inconvenience others was particularly relatable. But all of them needed in some way to grow beyond their parents, and that’s a fantastic message for readers of any age.

Thank you Netgalley and Wednesday books for the ARC.
