Into The Bright Open
younger-YA secret garden retelling

she becomes friends with the Indigenous housekeepers and locals, and her younger cousin - who’s kept in the attic because of her health by an abusive stepmother
#Into The Bright Open#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#sapphic books#I enjoyed this! it’s quite..narratively simple I guess. but there’s some interesting things for sure#i am not intimately familiar with the secret garden and there’s def a bunch of reviews that r like. this is nothing like that!!!!11!!1#so ymmv#but as far as a story about an unlikable girl getting freedom from so called society and friends for the first time#and being able to find her true self…. yknow i thought it was quite good#to listen to the audiobook anyway#also i only noticed the beadwork on the cover afterwards that's kinda cool
