This book is largely no plot-just vibes, but I still found it so interesting. There were a few parts that were a bit slow paced, yet I still enjoyed it. Lydia is struggling to resist the temptation of her vampire identity while struggling with her self-identity as an artist in her 20’s.

So confusing but SO GOOD. I have to say I don't get all the literary implications of this book, but I can feel their weight and that is enough for me to know they are profound. I adored the explorations of the nature of women, artists, and food culture. Ends incredibly abruptly but I think it was purposeful. JUST LOVE.

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!!
