Summer of Salt by Katrina Leno
5.0
“Because there was nothing in a girl’s history that might negate her right to choose what happens to her body.”
I simply don't have words for how this book made me feel. I picked this up barely knowing what it's about and without having heard anyone talk about this before. Gosh, what a hidden gem this was. It's a book that makes you feel understood and loved and makes you want to hold onto something or someone a little tighter. You can feel the magic all throughout this book even though it's really not a prominent part of the story. It made my heart flutter and ache all at once. Such an important story and I'm so glad I got to read it. I can't recommend it enough truly.
Even though the title suggests that this would be a summer read it totally gave me chilly end of summer/going into fall vibes and had quite a 'spooky', cold atmospheric setting which I absolutely loved. It turned out to be a perfect book to read during this time of the year where the sun is still shining brightly and gives the leaves a golden hue but the blue skies can turn into storms minutes after. A book to snuggle up to with a big cup of tea for sure!
