"I'm not really sure what I am anymore, whether I'm a monster or whether I'm just a woman, or both."

Ah good vampire books. The parallel the Mc draws between being non white and being a vampire are chiefs kiss.

I just wish there were 200+ more pages to this book. I loved it.

A very unique and special book, left me thinking a lot upon finishing it. Definitely has reread potential. I loved the art descriptions in this and that the author managed to create a relatable vampire. 

Do not read if you're triggered by descriptions of eating disorders, this book has disordered eating throughout its entirety. Check other TWs as well because it can be upsetting to read and definitely has pronounced horror elements (but the horror isn't supernatural always which I think is amazing and very interesting). 

This book managed to do and say a lot under 200 pages! I'm not sure, if I keep thinking about it for longer than I have it might become a favorite. Thought-provoking and emotional books are where it's at!!
