I received an eARC of this book from Wednesday books in exchange for an honest review.
When I first saw this book on Instagram, I knew I had to read it. Anyone who knows me knows that the loss of my mom and the subsequent relationship change my sister and I had because of her death is a huge part of who I am.
I often struggle on the daily with staying in the present and moving forward. So often I just want to go back and be where we used to be. But I’m slowly learning that “goodbye is never easy, but it’s only the beginning.”
Enough about me - this book was really lovely. The description of so many things paints a picture like you’re in the desert. The way Courtney describes the world, makes you feel. It makes you sad, it makes you hopeful, it makes you scared, it just makes you feel.
This is a book about grief but it’s also a book about being present and why it’s important. It’s almost poetic how you root for Beck and Avery but at the same time you’re hoping Beck just survives and can get out of Backravel.
If you’re looking for a mysterious, sapphic, paranormal, grief-filled book - this is me telling you to read this. I wasn’t at all disappointed and my gut was right about reading this one.
