fair warning: this review discusses a suicide attempt that is in this book. i’ll mark that section with “//“ before and after so you can easily skip past it if needed.

this is a very boring ya horror :/ it had interesting elements— witches, sapphic, scary forest— but didn’t use those at all in any interesting ways (im seriously so disappointed that the sapphic bits never went anywhere). it also felt like the plot was a fever dream in a bad way, honestly im still not quite sure what the fuck that ending was.
//
content warnings would have helped this book greatly. there is an onpage suicide attempt that happens and is never discussed again at all (most egregious thing of this book imo, im kinda shocked that that was in ya?? like obviously suicide and mental health effect teens and should be discussed, but that discussion needs to be responsible).
//
there are also more things that needed content warnings, such as child neglect and parental drug addiction. 
i wanted this to be so good and it gave nothing except a lack of reasonable content warnings.
