Ivy has a troubled relationship with her mom, Dana. This book flips back and forth from their perspectives, one in the present, one in the past, eventually bringing them both together. It's a story of witches, and the choices we make, and how we live with the consequences. A slow burn with beautiful writing, if a bit full of metaphors.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Blood
