Did I like it? Yeah. Did I enjoy the reveals? Yep. Did I like the characters? Sure. Do I actually want to read the next book? Not really. I think this book had pacing issues, and it never quite sucked me in.

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ the book is narrated by the main character Jane; she is equal parts kick-butt, sarcastic, and tender
⁕ the story focuses more on the development of Jane’s friendship with her classmate Katherine and their navigation of the world they live in than it does on romantic relationships... a breath of fresh air from your usual YA fiction!
⁕ Ireland beautifully blends fantasy, horror, and historical fiction to make important commentary on the long lasting impacts of racism and white supremacy in the United States
