wow. this is such a powerful story that i ache for my teenage self to have. raquel is such a brilliant writer, and her books keep getting better as i read them. all the characters are so dynamic and real, and i always get so hooked in. this book was no exception and i love the way grief and how it has a different impact on each individual was depicted. also shout out to bea’s sense of style bc sameeee.
