I picked this up because the blurb on the back - “like something you read in the underside of a freeway overpass” - reminded me of Alice Isn’t Dead. 

It was dark and disjointed. It definitely felt like a fever dream.  I know people like this girl; not vampires (are there even vampires, really?), but people that seem to be stumbling blearily from hangover to near death encounter and back again. The whole book feels hazy and desolate. 

I wished for MORE from the book. I guess more answers, but that’s not the point.
