Beschreibung
When seventeen-year-old Eli arrives at Raeth, a remote mountain retreat for teens with mental health issues, her mind is made up—she is not interested in participating, and she doesn’t need to “heal.” Still reeling from a breakup that left both her heart and faith shattered, she is determined to fake being “fine” so that the program’s warden will clear her to return home.
But the retreat itself has other ideas. The valley’s magical surroundings transform each time she ventures out, playing with her mind and dredging up her grief-laden memories. Despite the warning signs, Eli explores more of the area than she had ever planned, even venturing into the dangerous night realm.
This spellbinding novel mixes prose and poetry into an exquisite and evocative portrait of love, grief, depression, and the slow path toward healing.

Wow, this book had absolutely blown me away and I think the Author's Note at the end made me tear up most. This book was truely so magical and beautiful and I found it hard to find the right words to speak about this book. Eli and Gale have found their ways to my heart from the very beginning. Eli is dealing with a huge heartbreak and that has cost het her mental health. She is not in a good place, so her mom decides to bring her to Raeth. And this place changes everything for her. On a wonderful journey, wandering through the magical landschapes of Raeth, Eli discovers herself again- sometimes even in a literal way. There are tough challenges, but bit by bit she figures that there are still people out there who care for her and that she must hold on to that - but mostly to herself. Ashley's writing style is magnificent. I've never seen a book before that starts with a little poetry before every chapter, and it fits Eli and the story so well. Through the poems, we get to know her past - what happened to her and 'you'. Through the chapters, we travel with her through Raeth and her journey to... I don't know, forgiving and living with herself again, I would say. This is a book I would have wanted to read during my heartbreaks, but also at tough moments - like I do have now and then. It gives the hope we need and speaks about mental health in the most beautiful and accepting way. I love Eli and her story and journey back to herself, and I was also so happy with the ending and getting to know Gale. I wish I could learn more about him too. He deserves his story too (who knows? hint hint, please? haha). Please do read this, get to know the Night Fox, get to know Eli. I hope you will pick up this book and let it find a way to your heart, the way it did to mine.
