    I'm such a sucker for Shea Ernshaw's writing! She has a way of immersing you into her worlds that makes it so atmospheric! This story is inspired by the Tulip madness and follows twins who are cursed to be loved by everyone. Archer, the brother, embraces it while Lark, the sister, hates it. She keeps everyone at a distance and denies love. When the tulips escape it's up to them to right the wrong. The think that bothered me about this book was how much they didn't care about the tulips getting out even though that's the whole thing! But it's ok cause everything figures itself out in the end. This is a very YA read including a fade to black scene and literally like 4 kisses, the romance was a nice slow burn. I would've loved to see them meeting their parents though after all that time!

    So this story is told in a series of POVs, switching between past and present, telling the story of Lucy( and a girl named Iris is one of the POVs?) . I love Lucy's POVs and overall story but really wish Iris' purpose was more explained, especially in the beginning. This book honestly could've been way cut down and not lost much! I'm a sucker for vampire stories lately so I definitely enjoyed it

    I chose this book for my Pride Month book because I think I'm going to connect with the MC and setting. I went to a Christian school for all 13 years of grade school in the south of the US and didn't have a lot of exposure to anything LGBTQ+, let alone have space for me to consider I may be queer myself. It's not my usual genre so I appreciate the breath of fresh air to start Pride Month off right!

    READ THIS IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY

    This is one of the pivotal books I read in the past few years. RF Kuang is a masterful writer and easily one of the best in the business.
