“A script both about love and full of love (in almost every sense of the word)…a story about self-sufficiency and learning to embrace the broken and distorted parts of self.”
“While this is undoubtedly a love story, it is also very much about the beauty of femininity in a larger, almost mythical sense.”

“In many ways, Into the Thicket feels like a live action Studio Ghibli film…perhaps its greatest strength is that the reader really has no preconceived notions or idea of where the plot will take them. The narrative is utterly unpredictable in that way.”
