Caraval is a magical adventure seen through the eyes of a protagonist who has bad anxiety. She’s not going around making stupid choices. This is a book about sisterly love, misguided adoration, and finding yourself when you’ve had your personality smacked out of you your whole life. And, of course, no book would be complete without a little romance sprinkled in as well! 

Since this is a YA book, there is no spice but the romance is super cute and sweet even without it. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone 14+ who loves magic and solving mysteries.
