i think this was a cute little vampire x human rom-com. it wasn’t anything too memorable or spectacular to me, but it wasn’t bad either. the ending and “conflict” felt so like mid and very basic. the resolution was just too lackluster imo.

This was really fun! It's so nice to read a romcom that's actually funny and light in tone. I really enjoyed how most of the book was just Cassie and Frederick having conversations and getting to know each other, especially the epistolary element with all of their notes and letters (reminded me a bit of The Flatshare in that way). Their romance was really cute and I loved how low-conflict it was. Frederick trying to adjust to the modern world was hilarious.

It went a bit downhill at the end for me. Although

I appreciated how Cassie and Frederick didn’t break up,

the third act conflict fell flat and felt a bit underwhelming. I think it would have been better if it had been more of a surprise to the reader and had more urgency to it. The resolution was honestly ridiculous.

I also wish the worldbuilding was a little stronger. It felt more like a contemporary in which one of the characters happened to be a vampire than a paranormal. I wanted to know more about vampire society, their rules, how they’re governed. There’s no apparent concern when Cassie unexpectedly finds out Frederick is a vampire and runs off, even though he later says humans finding out can be dangerous. It’s never really explained why Frederick moved to the US or how he became wealthy. Some of the editing in regards to timelines was a bit off as well.

Overall though, this was a cute, entertaining romcom and I had fun reading it!
