Reluctant Immortals by Gwendolyn Kiste
4.0

‘I was a girl who liked a boy. There was nothing wrong with that, of course, but when a woman gets murdered, we never talk about why it wasn't her fault. We only talk about why it was.’

I’ll admit it took me a little while to get into this book (around 20% - 40% in), but this book is a fantastic work of feminist fiction.

I don’t think it’s necessary to have read Jane Eyre or Dracula prior to reading this, but I think it’s important to have at least some prior knowledge of the books beforehand. I loved all the meanings and descriptions, what it means to love - both toxic relationships and friendships - and what one’s purpose is.
