This was such a sweet story! A Sapphic Indigenous retelling of the Secret Garden! l'd say it's more middle grade than YA, especially considering the MCs have both been incredibly sheltered. Listened via audiobook and the narration helped keep the story going and the narrator did the different voices/ accents well which really helped.
