this book is like fleabag and midnight sun had a baby and its so good. the symbolism in the small things that i actually picked up was so incredible. i have never heard of a vampire that experienced the life of their victims and that was such an interesting detail that gave the story a whole other level. i feel like i missed so much and if i went back and reread i would pick up things i didnt before. her relationship with her mother was so complicated and heartbreaking def don’t recommend for my bitches with mommy issues. i rlly liked this book i just think it didnt capture my attention like i really wanted it to. will fs come back to it later tho

A very unique and special book, left me thinking a lot upon finishing it. Definitely has reread potential. I loved the art descriptions in this and that the author managed to create a relatable vampire. 

Do not read if you're triggered by descriptions of eating disorders, this book has disordered eating throughout its entirety. Check other TWs as well because it can be upsetting to read and definitely has pronounced horror elements (but the horror isn't supernatural always which I think is amazing and very interesting). 

This book managed to do and say a lot under 200 pages! I'm not sure, if I keep thinking about it for longer than I have it might become a favorite. Thought-provoking and emotional books are where it's at!!
