YA fantasy blending magical realism, fairy tale, contemporary, & mystery into a wonderfully magical story. This novel is a really fun time. The start was a little bumpy, but as I settled into the writing I found myself just really enjoying everything on the page: the world, the fun characters, the relationship between Emeline & Hawthorne. There is a great mix of dark & light, with just a touch of creepy. I consider this a cozy comfort read.
