The comp to Nina LaCour caught my eye, but this book wasn't really for me. Right from the beginning, I didn't gel with the writing, nor did I 'get along' with the voice of the MC. I think this is a great premise, though, and I'm so glad sapphic/lesbian romances (and other queer relationships!) are becoming a regular staple of multiple genres!!

This book was absolutely fantastic. I've already added it to our list for order this year and will recommend it to students.

This was a really nice read. The tension of Eleanor’s past with her small steps toward claiming a future was effective in making me really empathize with a character who has made some not tiny mistakes. This book is quiet and full of angst, but it has a happy, well-deserved ending. It deals with Lyme disease and family in a very interesting way, too!

I think the representation of witchcraft as a spiritual practice as opposed to magic spells was nice, and in theory I liked the idea of this group of diverse girls getting together and being friends. To me, Eleanor was just too whiny and I felt like she wanted a girlfriend more than she wanted Pix to be her girlfriend. And the side characters get very little development, which was unfortunate.
