This was short and sweet, I adored reading this! Would have loved to know more about their world though, or see more of Indira and Fawn's relationship as they get to know each other. Still, this was such a nice story. The art in the e-arc is not final yet, which was a little bit of a bummer. But honestly, I feel like the final product will look beautiful!
I also appreciated that this book featured a character with chronic pain. I haven't read a lot of books like those. It was nice to see this kind of rep in books!

You know, at this point I am just so in love with every installment in this series.
Across the Green Grass Fields is another beautiful story in Wayward Children! I loved that there is an intersex character here and it just amazed me how this book showed us that there's no one way to be a girl, that we don't have to conform to everything—especially when it comes to gender identity and expression. I do wish it was tackled more though, and that I wish we could have seen the main character Regan truly embrace herself and tell others off (*cough* Laurel *cough*).
The world-building and the writing style, of course, was amazing. (What more did I expect, really)

"We can't stand here all day and expect the world to come to us."
I also loved that plot twist in the end, as well as the little yet important lessons we're left with at the end of the story.
"We have always held the land above the one who rules it."
There was something so poetic and disturbing in that plot twist, and I guess this wouldn't be a Wayward Children book without its dark and whimsical atmosphere. I loved it, of course!

The author mentioned that this was a book written because of biphobia, that this was written especially for bi/pan readers. I couldn't agree more.
This book was so, so wonderful, I feel like crying.
I feel like crying because it was validating and real and honest and perfect. The way this book tackled biphobia and bisexuality, as well as what it means to be queer/questioning, was so so good and heartfelt. In a way, it felt like an eye-opener. In a way, it felt like friend guiding you on, a friend who has your back.
Also, I have to mention, I had a smile on my face after reading the last page because it was just so heart-warming and satisfying. That's how much I adored this book.
That's it for me, for now. I'll ramble more about this book on my blog with a full review! Soon!
What a great book to start my 2021!
TW: internalized biphobia, confidential information accidentally getting leaked, a little bit of violence
A big thank you to Wednesday Books for sending me an ARC of Perfect on Paper! (This, of course, did not affect my overall opinion of the book.)
