These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong

adventurous mysterious tense slow-paced

I almost decided to stop reading this about 100 pages in. I really liked the unique elements of the story with the monster and the plague, I feel like the very heavy-handed Romeo and Juliet equivalent had actually been done a lot lighter. As written, this just feels extremely cluttered and like the author is trying to fit too many things into one story
