Hazelthorn

This didn't finish me like Don't Let the Forest In but my gods CG! The way they write is so beautiful. You get so lost in the pretty words and then suddenly you're like waitaminute... What just happened??? I just wanted to hug Evander the entire time. 

Predictable and a bit too similar to the authors debut novel in some ways, but really enjoyable

In a tangle of thorns, two boys lived with a hateful love for one another. Representation of society trying to shove everyone into little boxes with no room to breathe, trying to become something they’re not. Life is made to be messy, to be loud, to be experienced in every way that terrifies you. And eventually, you find the ones that love you despite the mess.
