I really enjoyed how this book delved into the mind of its protagonist. I liked the horror elements a lot, but I think this book was really just a messed up queer love story. I think this book had a lot of heart and its description of love felt very real and lovely. The writing style became repetitive at times and I had to suspend my disbelief a lot! I did enjoy the book a lot, though, which definitely helped me see through its shortcomings. I want to read fluids by the same author now!
