Why did I love this book?
This is my favorite book in the entire world (at least for the time being)!
The voice and writing are deliciously lyrical, while also offering a raw, authentic look at mental health and the deep human longing to belong. I recommend this book to just about everyone I meet, whether they struggle with mental health or not, because the descriptions of nature, the believable magical elements, and the portrayal of friendship always take my breath away.
I truly struggle for words to explain what this book means to me… so you’ll just have to read it!
