A fun read where Haley our main character finds herself thrust into the universe of a gothic romance plagued by a mysterious curse. It’s funny, cute, has a great art style, and the characters and themes are a great way to see tropes of the genre in action.

There were cute and funny moments but overall it felt a bit disjointed.

completely unserious and very enjoyable.
The hermitress or whatever was kind of a dumb plot twist.

This was a lot of fun and very silly. I really enjoyed that it leaned heavily on the gothic tropes and still poked fun at itself showing a satirical element of melding gothic romance and sci-fi fantasy. The world-building was entertaining, but the breakout character for me is Haley's English teacher. The short interaction was pure comic gold.
