Don't Let the Forest In

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for this ARC. 

Honestly I was so hyped for this book with all the raving reviews and the beautiful cover. I wish I had DNF-ed it instead unfortunately. 

Now don't get me wrong, there were so many pieces that could have been great. The romance, the dark academia, the mystery, the amazing amount of representation. This should have been amazing. 

But the story DRUG along and I struggled so hard staying in it. And the language is so flowery I was finding myself skimming to get to the point. 

Then the twist, well it was obvious the whole time so I'm not sure why I took the journey. And the ending is completely open. 

I really was hype to see a LGBTQIA+ story with full representation. This just ended up getting lost in the forest (pun intended).
