LITERALLY just phenomenal...(more below)
I read this entire series when I was in high school and loved it then, so it was like walking down memory lane, reading it again! I just love the way Marissa story tells and adds in new elements to a timeless story while also providing inclusivity too often excluded groups and demographics. From the geography to the sci-fictional piece, Marissa produces a "can't put down" series and introduces it with a tale as old as time (ironic I know).

“WHEN I SAY I WILL GO INTO HEAVY DETAIL…. AND I WILL. GO INTO HEAVY DETAIL.”
I LOVE. CARDEN. AND. JUDE. idc what anyone says, they’re perfection. Also the way I just didn’t see anything in this book coming. And I was like is he actually cruel or just acting in a manner he only knows how to articulate because that’s what he’s been raised in yah know? Jude on the other hand is a tough little cookie and it not PRESSED by these lol faerie boys tryna come up in here and do they lol thang to the humans. She said “ok bet, let’s get it” *crack knuckles and neck* and she’s a badass.
I just love Holly and how she slowly reveals the pages of a folding story. I appreciate the ways we get each characters background without extensive monologue. I adore how much you can go from understanding a character to being completely flabbergasted at the audacity of their choices later.
Ugh, I just love this book. And I’m gonna read for the fourth time again, starting rn. Bc #amazing

A beautifully written and artfully expressed interpretation of the varied complexity in lived realities of intersectionality, even amongst black women, who hail from different narratives and cultures. The need for camaraderie and the expression sought after in understanding of what it’s like to be a Black woman anywhere it’s the beauty of this book and how even that is not a universal need anymore, because the society’s we become accustomed to, do this very thing first — strip us of dignity so that we cannot remind our peers of theirs later.
As a black woman I found myself in each and everyone of these women’s intersected lives and really appreciated being able to relate to the events and traumas that they walked through as well as understand trauma’s that occurred based on identity markers that aren’t necessarily applicable to me.
Informative and just astonishing writing. Loved it.

This book has a big trigger warning!!
It was beautiful, but also haunting. I appreciated the way Colleen produced a heroin who became the hero of her story a part from the saving or need of a man. I think it is just a wonderful portrayal of how hard life can be, especially when you are in existing trauma and dire situations -- a real raw look at relationships and the complexity of them mixed in with the conflicts of life.
convoluted, rich, tear-jerking, and heart wrenching.
But... a good read nonetheless.

“And when I see her, I don’t feel like I have to talk to her or mess up her hair or do something—anything—to get her to swing that gaze on me.”
I finished this book in 24 hours !!! Started and finished in the same day!! It was that perfect and sweet!!
Just a very tender and wonderful feel good read about high school romance, how we romanticize life and sometimes that keeps us from the best things in it ! It’s about feeling and mourning and experiencing ALL the good and hard things about life with those around you.
It’s just so HECKING cute and I was squealing reading and dancing along to the soundtrack of Liz + Wes’s life. Ugh. 10/10 !!
