i mean if you like lesbians and dark academia i guess you could read this
--
this book is very close to my heart because it builds off my lived experiences as someone with psychotic depression, a heavily-stigmatized mental illness that is still poorly understood. i'm so excited to share it with you, and i hope that it reaches the right readers: the ones who have never seen themselves represented in fiction as complex, nuanced people rather than as caricatured villains. for the girls who are tired of being called "crazy."
this book is a lot of firsts for me. for one, it's my first book with a canonically nonbinary/trans character. as a trans author myself, this feels so validating, to be able to write a character like myself into a mainstream piece of fiction. it's also my first book with a big five publisher, that will be carried in bookstores. and i can't wait to share felicity and ellis' world with you all.
that said, there is some content in this book that could be upsetting to some. you can find content warnings for this book on my website here.

The preorders have opened and online retailers uploaded the cover. I haven't posted it so that you get to do the reveal properly but it's freaking stunning. The aesthetic, the details... I think I'm in love.
