This was great. I really love everything I've read from Joy McCullough, and this was no exception. I first was introduced to her writing with Blood Water Paint, and I think all of her YA books that I've read really fit together. Enter The Body has the brilliant poetry I'm used to, the searing takes on stories we're familiar with, and I really loved it. Of these heroines we follow, I'm least familiar with Lavinia and Cordelia, and we don't get to hear from Lavinia, but I was really intrigued by and absolutely loved what Joy McCullough did with Cordelia's story, especially the exploration of her aro/ace identity. I can't wait for my finished copy of this book to arrive and also to see what Joy McCullough writes next.

I also will say, this cover isn't my favourite. i think it fits with the story, but alas it's not as strikingly beautiful as Blood Water Paint.
