I think maybe I'm just not the target audience for this book. I love poison ivy, I love gothic fiction, I love a LGBTQ love story. But this felt a bit more teen drama than gothic romance. Poison Ivy felt out of character, the love story felt flat and at no point was the story feeling like the gothic horror drama it was advertised as. I loved the art work and I wanted to like the story but it never really took off.
