This books was dark, emotional and yet heartwarming. The topic it covers can be complicated, but the author approaches it in a sensitive yet accurate way. I enjoyed the progression of all characters and the fact that it didn’t just focus on the ‘flaws’ of the characters.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC.

This book was full of fantastical description and emotive elements. Even though it was only short, you got to know the main character quickly and cared for her throughout. It touched upon some interesting dynamics - I haven’t read the first book but I certainly want to now!
