A dark and supernatural contemporary teen debut by multi-talented author and journalist Caroline O'Donoghue.
I'll give up the tarot readings. I'll apologize to Lily.
But Lily doesn't come to school on Monday. Or Tuesday. It's not until Wednesday that the police show up. Maeve Chambers doesn't have much going for her. Not only does she feel like the sole idiot in a family of geniuses, she managed to drive away her best friend Lily a year ago. But when she finds a pack of dusty old tarot cards at school, and begins to give scarily accurate readings to the girls in her class, she realizes she's found her gift at last. Things are looking up – until she discovers a strange card in the deck that definitely shouldn't be there. And two days after she convinces her ex-best friend to have a reading, Lily disappears.
Can Maeve, her new friend Fiona and Lily's brother Roe find her? And will their special talents be enough to bring Lily back, before she's gone for good?
There was a large focus on gender fluidity and LGBTQA rights in this book and that was definitely my favourite part, aside from the tarot. It gave us some really wonderful character development and had me very invested in the fate of the side characters especially.
If you enjoy teen witch type stories, tarot or magical mysteries, I’d recommend picking up All Our Hidden Gifts when it releases!
