Just kidding.
As someone who was a teenager when twilight hit the shelves, no YA vampire love story is going to touch it. But I can fully appreciate the audience this was written for and know that it’s successful in its execution. The issues for me lie specifically with just how painfully, cringing-ly (this is a word now) Gen Z it is. I don’t enjoy dialogue that includes “AF” unironically (and all the time). The characters are dumb, lovable but dumb, and i think that’s a disservice to all of them. The fact that Twilight, as a book, exists in this universe and it is GIVEN to the protagonist as a very obvious gift/clue and she still can’t figure what’s going on? The reader is never going to believe that. But someone could easily have similar gripes about Twilight, and I refuse to reconsider the 5 star the rating my teen heart gave those books. So, I get it. This is definitely that for some swooning teens out there
I devoured this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely continue the series!

2.5
- “For long seconds . . .”
- “*insert place to fly to* on my own power.”
- “_____ AF.”
- “hella”
- “_____. Like, . . ._____” (to say something for the second time, but slightly differently, with more emphasis)
- “Nothing to do with _____, and everything to do with _____.” (Most often, the first blank is filled with “Alaska,” or “the cold.”)
- “My mouth is/goes desert-dry.”
- “FML”
- “Freaking”
- “Every hair on my body stands up straight.”
- “Give myself over to . . .”
- “Civil twilight”
- “Listing”
- I was able to say things to my sister (while we were listening and sewing) like, “Watch, it’s Jaxon,” or, “It’s definitely not her uncle.”
- <slight spoiler> My sister said to me, “Dragons?” when I told her what I thought the types of paranormal creatures that went to the school would turn out to be because what the FUCK. Of all things? </slight spoiler> I mean, I guess I can’t say it isn’t unique.
