A beautiful look at trauma and recovery. I loved the characters and mcLemore’s style. This book really handles trauma well and vividly illustrates what it’s like. I also love food magic! It was great having an m-spec protagonist as well. Strong content warnings for rape, bullying, harassment, homophobia, and panic attacks.
