At times the descriptions of Lydia’s relationships with her mother and with food where difficult but overall they were relatable.
It’s interesting to read about a vampire who isn’t over powered. Lydia feels like a young woman who was way too sheltered growing up (think catholic school girl) and is just figuring out who she is and what she wants while also being non-human. It’s like seeing the vampire before they become wealthy, successful, and sexy.

This book was not what I was expecting at all.
The writing at times is so beautiful and took my breath away other times sentences just fell short or made little to no impact.
Something was missing for me sadly and I'm gutted because from the premise it sounded right up my street.
