Beautifully written, but I don’t think I liked it, in the end. A lot runs beneath the surface.

This is my first Nina LaCour - and won't be my last. It is sad, haunting, mesmerising, and hopeful.

soft and very evocative writing. not a whole ton of plot but the twists that were there caught me way off guard. i was expecting more of a romance for some reason but the story worked fine without. just a cute dreamy little farmers market summer camp story.

there's a scene in the book where the main protag listens in on a couple having sex then masturbates to it this isn't exactly a tw warning for anything specific but the main protag was... weirdly possessive of a child in the story and not in a 'I see you as my kid and want to protect you way'
