“You’re battling every single day, aren’t you?”

This is a beautiful story. It’s quirky but with a really important message about mental health, friendship and growing up. It’s also really clever how the different threads come together at the end.

And if you’re not normally a fantasy fan, don’t be put off. It is very character-driven and the magical elements are just a backdrop 🥰
