Mini Review/Full Review on Tumblr:
So, as much as any girl, I hated twilight. Vampires and High school for me don’t mix- as someone in highschool, but this book surprised me, in such a good way.
First off, can we talk about the disability representation? It was actually very realistic(and that’s something I can say from personal experience) and it was a good representation of what Type One is as a disease. Typically when authors write about this disease, it’s written with stereotypes and such and this was one of two books I have ever read that I have seen it written correctly. Hats off to the author. 🎩
I love how the use of vampires were different than what we typically see.
The characters felt fully flushed out and had their own identity’s.
My favorite thing though was the reverse grump sunshine trope-and the fact that the author didn’t try to make the main character “Not Like Other Girls” which really makes the book stand out against other vampire books…..
The whole climax build up? Felt a little unnecessary, and also felt like some unnecessary social commentary on high-school relationships was also present.
