The concept for this book is great, a world where ghouls can live a “normal” life and society has made accommodations. The main character and her friends go to a music festival in the desert where ghouls are mysteriously becoming feral. It’s a little genre-bending because it’s creature horror, with a mystery aspect, and a lot of gore. The writing seems immature in some areas, and some words were repeated too often for me. The descriptions of characters came off abrasive instead of thought out. It’s a cute coming-of-age sapphic story, but it could have been better. It was an easy read and fast to get through. I do think this would be a great tv show because we need more sapphic horror in the world.

re: diversity, the characters are textually diverse, but it's one of those situations where functionally they all feel very white. it didn't really bother me, and the main pairing is queer, but it's one of those hard to quantify situations.

i really enjoyed this, though! it was a bit lighter and more fun than dry, which i read last year, because it's happening post-disaster, but the two are pretty similar.
