I loved reading this so much. This book was spooky and mysterious and I could NOT put it down. The way the author writes scenes and settings makes you feel immersed in the world—like you're actually there. And I love the way she writes feelings, it makes me feel them too. Plotwise, it was amazing. There was a lot of foreshadowing in the book but the author did an excellent job in just letting you know just enough to keep you guessing. It felt like the book sucked me in the waters. Objectively speaking, the ending was good—nice and clean. And the epilogue was also good. But I can't help but feel a tad angry about it but I understand that if things ended the way I wanted it to, it would be very wrong.
But bro it was hella sad, right? I mean, Bo is only loving a ghost where Hazel was. That's a little wrong, right? And looking back, I can't recall the reasons why I think the romance was good, but while reading it I enjoyed it.
But that's pretty much all I have to complain about. I guess some themes that were discussed in here is sexism (witches,duh) how people hate what they don't understand, and how humans are messy and what it means to be one, actually.
