The Lost Coast is a coming of age story of friendship and power. Amy Rose Capetta takes the time to write all six girls as their own individuals, all of them look very different from one another, have different powers from one another, and act very different from one another. The one thing they all have in common is that they identify as queer, sparking great LGBTQ representation. These girls who felt like outsiders all come together in a beautiful, diverse, close knit group who all happen to practice magic. This book is heavy in magical realism and takes a turn in multiple viewpoints. Capetta takes a real place, the Lost Coast, and gives it the fictional town of Tempest to lead the reader on an eerie and magical mystery to follow.
