3.0

I very much wanted to DNF this at several points but I'm really glad I finished this.

Dislikes: I hated the characters, the whole way through. I'm not entirely sure I was suppose to like the characters. I did not vibe with the romance either.

Middle of the Road: Some of the language used in this book feels very older queer person who maybe isn't caught up with the times.

Liked: There are really great scenes illustrating the trans and non-binary experience. I really like the prose, the exploration of vampirisms, death, archiving, fandom, isolation.

IDK. Peeking the author's Linkedln, this low key feels like fan fiction of their own life. Its incredibly personal. And because of that it has its highs and lows.
