Let’s start by saying, Joelle Wellington is back with another banger 🙌🏽

I’ve been eyeing this book since it was announced and let me tell you, my month was MADE when I got it in the mail!

I knew it was going to be good- I mean the cover alone 😍 When I saw it was horror, I knew I was in trouble because I am not a horror girl AT ALL. You already know my ass was over here scared 😩😂

We’ve got a slasher thrope lowkey flipped in its head with friends that are closer than family and sapphic love wrapped in a coming of age story that centers around being brave in whatever way that may look like for you.

Will I read everything Joelle writes? Absolutely. Should you read everything Joelle writes? Duh.
