So I know why it was used and I was under no naive impression that a suburb in the 90s in the Southern US was going to give me a setting of equality but OH MY GOD THE AMOUNT OF GASLIGHTING AND SEXISM IN THIS BOOK IS INFURIATING! It is nonstop. I wanted to slap every male character in this book!

A very enjoyable read that was not like...honestly any vampire book I've ever read before. There's a lot of times where we see the polar opposites of experiences in things like wealth or race which I am glad was included. We have a lot of people and books who just don't talk about that stuff. Patricia was easily my favourite character.
