At first, mainly because I was listening to the audio book, I was incredibly confused by all the POVs switching around and I almost DNF'd it, but I am so glad that I didn't! What started as a confusing mystery soon became a beautiful story of magic, whimsey, grief, letting go, and finding anew. I really loved this book and look forward to rereading it.
Moderate: Sexual assault
Minor: Grief, Murder, Abandonment, Child abuse, and Alcoholism

Gorgeous, beautiful prose. Steer clear if you're uncomfortable with LBGTQ romance. Parents might be wondering Where Are The Parents?? -- as I did! I return to this book over & over, especially audio. I also recommend highly another novel by this author: The Accident Season.
Graphic: Sexual content and Drug abuse
Moderate: Drug use, Alcohol, Cursing, Grief, and Abandonment
Minor: Addiction, Adult/minor relationship, Blood, Body shaming, Confinement, Death of parent, Infidelity, Mental illness, and Pregnancy
Beautiful book. Contains detailed descriptions of witchcraft rituals and underage teens maintenance drinking. Lots of casual references to shoplifting. Beautiful character development especially between siblings.
