Bad Blood by Demitria Lunetta
4.0
Content warning: cutting.
Young adult novels often surprise me with their readiness to address issues that adults skirt around when talking to young adults in person. Themes of mental health, cancer, dementia, parental disagreements, and finding where in the world that you truly belong. Add in a healthy dose of Scottish magic, what could go possibly wrong?
Though the pacing seemed fast at times, I think it was an accurate portrayal of the recklessness that occurs in shifting times. This book is perhaps the author's lowest rated, but I very much enjoyed it, so I'd like to read more by Demitria Lunetta.
