Fun while it lasted. I’m not really in the mood to finish it, though.

20 pages in and this one just isn’t for me, or maybe I’m not into reading YA contemporary fic right now. Either way, the title is great, the cover is beautiful, and I know this is a needed book for teens nowadays. I’m sure I would have loved it when I was a teen.

DNF at 20 pages. The writing style is way too simplistic and without much variety. It reads like the narrator is much younger than college-aged too. I’ll watch the web series, if I dive in at all.

DNFing because this isn’t the cute vampire romcom I thought it was :( and I’m really concerned with the way the main character talks about her body. Aaaand I don’t like the writing style. In 2024, I’m DNFing books without fear.

got 50 pages in and decided it wasn't my thing. Maybe I'll revisit it, maybe I won't.

Sobbing over here about Yaichi’s growth, Mike keeping his promise to his husband Ryoji, Kana being a good girl, and all of the characters in between who made Mike’s visit to Japan so rich and complicated and lovely. Yaichi and his brotherhood with Mike mean everything to me right now.
