This book follows Sol who for most of the book is going through a dark shitty time. He is adrift and lost as he has not accepted that he is a vampire. The book becomes hopeful and adventurous in the last 20 pages or so.

I loved the discussion of fanfic and shipping culture. In conversations between queer characters there were queer patterns/styles of speech that I really appreciated. There was also discussion about the remnants of a body in objects after death.

This was a good book, but I was not in the right frame of mind at the time. I was dragging myself through reading this book as it was ruminating on someone who was having a difficult time in life and I should have been reading something more hopeful.
