I really enjoyed reading this! I loved that the chapters were short and I thought it was well written overall. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen, something else did which surprised me. I was hooked and curious to discover what was going on in Sorrow Spring. This was just the folk horror I needed - not too intense or too scary. I'm keen to check out more books by Olivia Issac-Henry!

I listened to the audiobook and I have mixed feelings overall. It was cringey and repetitive but I couldn't help listening till the end 🫣 It was giving me flashbacks to my childhood and to the films, which I remember enjoying at the time. I enjoyed the story the most towards the end when all the action took place (and probably because I knew it would be over soon lol 🤣). The dynamic between Edward and Bella was too obsessive for my taste and Bella's narrative had me rolling my eyes constantly. All that being said, I still found myself interested enough to continue on. Maybe it was the nostalgia but there was something about this story that was both diabolical yet compelling to read.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would! I'm still not a fan of the massive age gap between Conor and Maya so in my mind the gap wasn't there 🫣. I liked how realistic the dynamic between them felt and of course, the yearning. I have never wanted two people to be together but to also not be together like I did with Conor and Maya. I also liked the other characters in this book too and I'm keen to check out Not In Love to read Eli's and Rue's story as I didn't realise this book was the second one.

I also enjoyed the cameo of Scarlett and Lukas as I recently read Deep End. It was a nice surprise and took me min to realise that I already knew them from somewhere 🤣

Overall, this was a fun read and I couldn't stop turning the pages to find out what will happen next! I really like Ali Hazelwood's writing style too. This was one problematic summer romance that I'd recommend!
