what a cute little fall read. although it isn't technically fall yet. i finished this in one day. would definitely recommend!!

stayed for lucy gray, sejanus, and the lore. i didn't care much to be in the mind of a sociopath

i lost my grandmother in 2021 and like our FMC Lenny, she was my Lou. although i didn't realize that until after she was gone. when i lost her i felt like i had died with her. i spent weeks just wallowing in my grief wishing i was some magical fairy that could bring her back.

thankfully through those tough times i had a Miles. my boyfriend. he helped me and held me through my grief he would listen to me while i sobbed and was just there through everything. shortly after reading this book i went to my grandmothers grave for the first time since the funeral. to say i lost it might be an understatement. she really was my best friend and i will spend the rest of my life missing her and hoping that when my time comes she will be there to greet me.

thank you to Cara Bastone for reminding me that grief is not linear and that im allowed to grieve no matter how much time has passed. and to my grandmother i miss you and hope your spirit is resting.

i never had any friends later on like the ones i had when i was twelve, jesus does anyone?

yes i stayed up till 5 in the morning to finish this. no i will not be saying anything other than what the fuck??
