I’ve yet to read a book by Anna-Marie McLemore that I didn’t love. The best way I can describe Lakelore is that it felt like a warm hug. I love Bastián and Lore so much, and I loved both of their stories and how they came together. McLemore’s writing is beautiful, and as always, they’ve written a thoughtful, character-driven story that challenges the way we see the world. I might not have the words for a proper review right now, but I loved and will be thinking about Lakelore for a long time. 💙
