DID NOT FINISH: 52%

First half of the book--5/5, beautiful, stunning, heartbreaking, poetic, I highlighted so many things.
Second half of the book--2/5. Writing still gorgeous, but just was not expecting that deviation from the story and felt confused and then a lack of interest. 
I love a ghost story, but I was not expecting the protagonist to die halfway through the book and then narrate the story as a legitimate ghost. If I had been prepared for that going in, I think I would have liked the turn in the story a lot more.

loved the exploration of hunger and agency and fear and love in this lesbian vampire book.
one point off for everyone being like 17.
