I didn't expect to find this book accessible but I really did.
It was fun and atmospheric. It felt very sapphic and characters weren't punished for it. Even though one was a vampiric monster that was the problem, not that she's a girl but that she's feeding. 
There are some slurs and ablist statement that are uncomfortable, especially for a modern reader but overall this story was a fantastic piece of short literature filled with fantastic spooky atmosphere and heavy wlw tones.

Ce fut un livre intéressant. Mais j’avoue que je m’attendais a plus… tout d’abord je me disais que les personnages seraient plus âgées mais aussi qu’il y aurait plus de… plus quoi. Plus de lesbianisme, plus de tension, plus de spice, plus de leaning… bref plus. 

Je m’exprime très bien okay!
