This book pissed me off. At its core, it romanticizes trauma to sustain the life of a small town island. Based on the synopsis, this gives the vibe of a folksy small town mystery with a romance, but it’s more horrific than that. The plot went into unnecessary tangents and wasn’t fully resolved. The witchcraft element was more disturbing than I expected especially since that’s the cause of so much misfortune.
