thank you to netgalley and atria books for this arc and the ability to meet sigrid and margit early. emily austin has an incredible gift for writing characters that are deeply (and often painfully) relatable but also completely distinct. this book is definitely sadder than austin’s others, and it deals with more serious topics like suicide, substance abuse and domestic abuse, but it never felt too heavy or triggering in my opinion. at its core it is a story about the love two sisters share for each other, and that kind of anchors the story and keeps it from spiraling into too depressing territory. this is truly another banger from emily austin, but at this point thats what we expect! she is singlehandedly feeding an entire generation of mentally ill queer women the representation we’ve been craving and this book is no different. thank you again to the publisher for the arc!!
