Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs.

The trick with found things, though, is how easily they can be lost.

Friends can betray.
Mothers can disappear.
Visions can mislead.
Certainties can unravel.

Do you maybe remember how I said I couldn’t review The Dream Thieves without spoilers? Well, that’s even more true for Blue Lily, Lily Blue. THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD. There are tons of spoilers ahead in semi-chronological order. TONS.

Also tons of caps. Sorry not sorry.
