obviously this book is right up my alley & i would love to read a sequel or anything else this author has to put out. it’s one potential future, one that’s pretty hopeful. the “return to normal” plotline is so telling… intermixed with the family dynamics and you got a 5 star read from me. 

has me dwelling on what is and isn’t possible and how everything is always possible with a little courage. 

i will say the plot itself isn’t the strongest, maybe, and the eating disorder part is really weird and i didn’t like it or think it necessary. but the world building was too good… i’d probably rather read the full book from Larch’s perspective though.
