What She Found in the Woods by Josephine Angelini
4.0

A fast-paced at times read, a teenager's experience towards first love feelings, a lot of mysteries and twists and turns that kept me reading in one sitting and a well-deserved ending.

I felt a bit disappointed because the story does show a lot of rich kids privilege and how they act around and towards the other people, which is a bit of a given lately anyway, but that's just me or my moods.
I was hoping that maybe Magda is a bit different as she is struggling with mental health and she is left on her own with this issue as she doesn't receive the support needed from the ones that should be next to her. I did like this part though, because the author managed to show how ignorant and maybe how much information we still need regarding mental health, especially for teenagers as they do go through so many phases where they need more support.
Overall I really enjoyed the book and I'll definitely look for other books by the author.
