i've realised that if a book has a main character whose relationships with their parents are fraught, in a way that makes me relate to my own abusive upbringing, i'm probably gonna love it. TRAUMATIZED BITCHES UNITE.
this would be a perfect book if not for-
• the unnecessary harry potter references
• the harmful aromantic rep. granted it is not explicitly said that connie is aro but it is heavily implied. and yeah...miss lord really did her dirty.
but oh well. i still liked it!
this was my favorite of the trilogy but i have to say I'm really tired of the “mc doesn't wanna be in a relationship but it turns out they just haven't met the right person yet” trope.
