What happens when a newly made vampire and a newly diabetic teen get stuck in make up class together. You get this book. Two teenagers coming back from a medical absence in school are required to work together in a special class until they’re ready to be back in the main class. And while they suffer from two very different things, they find friendship and kinship in their abilities and disabilities. This book was, almost too sweet. It ran a little long. Also in the beginning, there was a bit of confusion. The art is OK, but the artist draws almost all their men like women, so I went in thinking I was getting a novel and it’s not. I’m not just saying the main character I mean almost all the men are drawn feminine. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it did make things a little confusing in the beginning when the story relied more on the pictures in the words. This book was good but not will be talking about in 20 years.
