4.5/5 Stars - It's creepy, unsettling, weird, and exactly the kind of YA horror I can get behind. I love a horror garden, a spooky forest, that whole kind of vibe, and this definitely delivered.
There were definitely a few moments where I could feel the YA-ness of it, but honestly, I didn't care that much. I was invested in the characters and wanted to know what was actually happening with the forest and where everything was going.
I don't always love an ambiguous ending, but I think it worked really well here. The uncertainty made it a better book for a discussion because there is so much to interpret. The horror, the relationships, the imagery, the symbolism, and just the general what the hell is happening here? made for a really fun discussion.

The heartbreak hello :(
Beautiful and haunting.
This book was a trip!! Most of the book was just weird but then you get slapped with plot twists!! It’s a good, one time experience
Gothic fairytale in a private school. Enjoyed the monsters and short stories created by MC and ML. Ending was surprising in a slightly negative way.
