I'm being real generous wit this 3. Like real , real generous wit it. Now I'm a sucker for smut as much as the next person , but the pacing is all over the place , everyone's attitudes was WAYYY too positive and understanding from what was being described. This is definitely one of those stories you turn your brain off and just enjoy. I want to love this book , a fantasy romance with a black female lead is a great find , but I simply can not get past the dubcon. If I'd fully understood what it meant before i checked it out I'm not sure I would've started. Is the story fast paced? Yes , but that's no excuse to not , at the bare minimum, make the consent MUCH more vocal and obvious. Please don't leave the very first sexual interaction between the main couple so ambigious in consent of all things. Feelings? Fine & dandy , but never consent to touch someone. This is a published story , not a Wattpad fanfiction.
At the very least , if you're gonna read try to find a physical copy. The cover art is BEAUTIFUL and what drew my attention in the first place. Shoutout to Alexia E. Pereira and Mike Pape for the hard work on it.

Sage spends her entire life being emotionally neglected by her Aunt while having to pseudo raise her two younger sisters after their mom abandons them. This ofcourse leads to a BOAT load of trauma for all parties involved and as always , the eldest sister is the scapegoat for everyone's pain.
I don't agree with some people's assessment of this book. I think Gilliland is a great writer , this book is written beautifully and the information about plants didn't feel forced to me. I liked the way there was a flip back and forth to the past & present with the messages and I found Sage and Tenn to be cute. They communicated pretty well , for the most part , and work really well together. Now the part where everything resolved a little too quickly ? Yes , I do agree that it happened WAYYY too fast ,especially when Skys body was found , alive & well. i think if Nadia had communicated better and everyone had mourned properly than Sage wouldve been told them about the ghost thing. Sky also felt MUCH less traumatized than i feel is reasonable, she spent so much time as a ghost & lost so much of her life. Other than that , I feel like the complaints of Sage's personality is unfair when you think about all she's gone through.
Personally , I feel that the depiction of grief is realistic and fair. Some people run away , some blame everyone else & themselves and some don't move on at all. The resolution came a little fast for me but it's still worth a read.

I found myself crying at random parts. It made my chest ache but in a good way. Gon and Yunjae are very precious children and should be protected.
My only problem is that the ending seemed to come a little quickly? The build up to that momet is obvious but it reads like it happened suddenly. Other than that , read the story yourself and see if it brings out anything in you.
