'Almost always' is a very different thing from 'always'. Lives are lived and lost in 'almost'.
Questions are like coats: you can turn them inside out when you need to hide from the fairies. Nothing sees you when you're cloaked in a question with its seams showing.
Last names could change, and being a part of a family didn't mean people wouldn't hurt you but it was still something wonderful.
We're perfectly normal in the right environment.
People who can't change aren't really perfect.
Just because someone hurt you when you were a child, that doesn't make it right for you to hurt anyone else.
People who've been hurt often think they have some sort of right to go around hurting other people...They think trauma's a toy to keep handing down forever. But the fact that someone hurt you and tied you up in knots doesn't give you the right to do it to anybody else.
Moderate: Bullying and Child abuse
Minor: Transphobia

As in previous books, McGuire handles her character's trauma with care and thoughfulness. We get a resolution to the stories of several characters and learn more about others. I can't wait to read the next one!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an Advance Reading Copy.
