I was a bit dissapointed by this book. I thought it sounded like a great premise and I was excited to see a queer and disabled protagonist. But I just found it quite slow and not the best written and idk I didn't really like any of the main characters. Maybe I'm not the right audience for it as its YA, but there's a lot of YA books that I love, and sadly this wasn't one of them. For me, the romance also wasnt great. It just kind of snapped from "I hate him" to "actually I like him", and I just felt that build could have been more gradual. I think the best thing it had going for it was the descriptions of York, I enjoyed the setting and the ghosts lore.
Moderate: Body horror, Child death, Death, Violence, Medical content, Medical trauma, Death of parent, Fire/Fire injury, and Injury/Injury detail
