This was wonderful and hard to put down--though the anti-queer Christofascists pissed me off. They need to be hexed.

44%: Wow--a sea monkeys reference... about an hour after I finished listening to an American Hysteria podcast episode about Sea Monkeys!

4.0

Great mix of mystery and super creepy which definitely made the difference between three and four stars for me. The romance was super cute. The story had an interesting exploration of sexuality, racism,  gender identity and just being yourself as a teenager; this is a good book to dive into when you may have hit a wall with reading but definitely not if you want to reflect on the above mentioned themes. There is a religious cult-like group in the story which has certain views on these themes, which can get exhausting reading if you hear or see them in a negative light in conversations regularly... All in all, great, quick read

This was a quick read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The magic was interesting, and I loved the chemistry between Maeve, Fiona, and Roe. They honestly made the book for me. And I can't wait to see what comes next!
