I knew exactly how this book was goin to end after 20 pages. I think it would be a good read for someone who is starting their mental health journey, but I just found it a bit cliche and boring sadly.

If you are a fan of The Locked Tomb series, you will love this story (or vice versa). It straddles on new adult (with a bit more YA writing, but dealing with adult themes) and at 25 is a really good read, and I think if I read this at 18 it would've been life changing. I love all of the queer representation and how its incorporated as part of the characters rather then being "the gay" one (you know that stereotype?).
Highly recommend!

I can tell why she became such a famous poet. I never knew her works were a posthumous publishing.

A cute and sweet sapphic vampire story. The final confrontation felt a bit rushed, but overall a very good read

I found this to be a bit disappointing. A middle of the road vampire story that analysis good vs evil. I wish it was better then it was.

Wow, what a rollercoaster this series has been. It's awesome to read a book in this series with such an uplifting main character. As the quote at the front says, I did fall in love with Nona instantly. It was really cool to see the world through her eyes. I can't wait to see what the next book brings and how this story wraps up!

Beautiful little short story that, in true Miller fashion, takes a well known greek myth and makes it more, adding to the original in different ways.
