I loved the way this story played with the vampire genre. It kinda reminded me of Vampire Weekend and The Coldest Girl in Coldtown in how vampires are perceived in the world.
Mia was SUCH a fun narrator and character, this girl just watching life unfold like it’s a bad movie, thinking this girl she has a crush on must be a monster bc she’s so attracted to her (so cute).
I like how vampirism is treated like addiction, how Mia and Izzy’s relationship is an enabler one that can be seen as a metaphor for active addiction and how it hurts others. The alternating chapters between present time and 2010 was done so so well, and I never felt like we were being taken out of any important moment in either story.
I just hate that it ended on a cliffhanger. I mean, great ending if it was a standalone, but knowing there’s a sequel I gotta sprint to the bookstore like NOW
