This is as a coming of age tale told through the lens of a girl who is just now coming to realise that the mundane is more scary than the mythical.
Learning that people are flawed, and things have never been how you thought they were can be terrifying at any age let alone as a teenager who is grieving.
This story was wonderfully told, twisty, but a little formulaic and leaves a few too many loose ends for my liking e.g HOW DO WE NEVER FIND IUT WHAT HAPPENED TO POLLY?!
I liked the tone shift from "wonder teenager saves the world" to melancholic, grieving teenager stumbles through the darkness in her life".
Nice to see LGBT+ representation but wish Luca had come out by then end of the book.
It feels weird that she went through so much growth in other aspects but that was left as just a thing that only two other people knew about her. I don't know if I've articulated that well but it felt not enough for me.
