I've never read The Secret Garden, so I don't have anything to compare this too, but I loved this book. I'm not usually one for YA but this was a beautifully written feminist masterpiece showcasing queer & indigenous joy, healthy (found) family dynamics, and personal growth.
It was a bonus that the places referenced were ones I recognized, and I could clearly picture the whimsical settings described.
Highly recommend.
