barely vampires. the most 2000s name-dropping, anorexia-glorifying greedy bullshit. do not read. a window into 13 y. o. ideals

much better world building & character development in this one. i liked the places and creatures, and the love story felt fleshed out. spice gets 3 because there were two pretty good scenes with buildup. epilogue was cheesey but when isn't it?

amazing storytelling that feels like it should be real life. interesting tension between hugo and monique whose resolution i didn't see coming. adored the narrative and the queer rep!!

nothing has kickstarted my philosophical brain like this in ages. so creative and new. feels like ghibli mixed with love, death, & robots (TV). great banter and made me think deeply about myself, my role, and the human condition. i want to write like this
