Thank you so Netgalley and Harper Collins for allowing me to enjoy this audio arc in exchange for my honest review!
I don't want to be dramatic but I adored this book. This book was so precious, heartwarming and also just deeply poignant in a way I was not ready for. The main character, her personality and her family charmed me and I fell in love with their story. The author did a wonderful job of weaving in the supernatural details in a believable, endearing way. I cried several times; it was a great little wholesome, spooky coming of age story and I highly recommend it.
