One of the best books I’ve ever read- excellent plot twists, charming setting, strong characters, incredible main characters with amazing witty banter, LGBT+ representation (supporting characters), iconic Bestiehood, insightful, inspiring, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at once!

What a unique mix of emotions in this book! I liked it well enough during the first half, but the second half is where the story really shone. Spooky, joyful, tragic, and wholesome — this one will definitely stay with me for a while.
