I am really loving the atmosphere in this already! Really intrigued to find out what had happened to them. I do have to say, Iris seems to be the least interesting of them, the one who seems the most like your typical YA protagonist.

I wasn’t as obsessed with this as I was with Don’t Let the Forest In, but it was still so good! The writing was exquisite, the story had me hooked forever, and the characters made me unwell with how much I related to them and wanted them to be safe and happy 😭 I was sometimes a little frustrated with Evander and the way he seemingly put all his anger towards Laurie while being meek bully material in the presence of the actual villains, but it didn’t bother me that much - or rather, it did, but I was also always aware WHY he acted like that. All the autistic rep made me want to weep with how accurate and painful to read it was, and I’m also obsessed with the feral and unhinged way Drews writes queer romances.

Oh, Evander’s anxiety is so achingly familiar! I really relate to him a lot in some aspects. I am also very intrigued by the story in general and really curious to see what happened! Plus, the writing is exquisite, but I’d expected that. It doesn’t always hit the mark for me - sometimes the way Drews describes things is a bit comical and almost makes me laugh when I picture them, which doesn’t really fit with the vibes of the book. But overall, I am obsessed with it.
