I was so glad and excited when I had the e-arc. A book about a Non-binary lesbian dryad who falls in love with a human lesbian. And with themes like climate change or body positivity.

But it didn't do it for me. And it's sad because you can feel the author put their heart into this story. But, the story, the romance, felt rushed. The story is clearly a character focus story, and yet, some felt really flat. And I had to push myself through it for the first 30%. 

It's cute, but clearly not for me. The anesthetic is beautiful, at least. 

Have you read it? Do you want to? See you, Rory!
