The Wicker King by K. Ancrum
4.0
Tw: Anxiety, Panic attack, PTSD, Depression, Parental neglect, Degenerative Hallucinatory Disorder, codependency, Pyromania
Two kids who were neglected so much that they started being there for each other in whatever way the other one needs. This book is so heavy on triggers so if you read it please be very sure you can sit through it.
In the authors note, Ancrum mentions "Now, August and Jack are fictional. They wind up okay in the end. They’ll learn how to love each other with fingertips, instead of claws. They will build a home and a life together, and there they will heal and grow." Yes they will but I hope everyone who had to go through anything remotely similar heals as well.
