Full of heavily implied pedophilia and grooming, as well as manipulation. The hypocricy of the book trying to sprinkle “feminist” messages here and there only to destroy all of that by having a horrible male love interest who basically grooms and manipulates the main character.
The murder mystery part of the book also made no sense. The conclusion of the murder mystery was so underwhelming. I can’t believe it was such a lame murder motive.
As far as I can tell from the preview at the end of the book, the second book is going to be even worse so I’m not going to even bother picking it up.

I had a lot of fun with this book and I'm excited to read Foxglove!
I really liked Signa's character and I found her nonchalance towards death very relatable so that was fun!
I liked the discussions that were had surrounding death and grief I found them very comforting. I also really enjoyed the aesthetic and spooky vibes of this book! Definitely perfect for the fall season and gloomy weather.
I also LOVED Blythe! I was that she has her own book after Foxglove so I'm excited for that! Overall, I thought it was a fun YA read and am definitely going to continue the series.
