Boy Meets Vampire: a Love Story. That subtitle really grabbed me. The art is really cute, the characters are fun and relatable. Thanks to Mary Interdonati at Harper Collins for the DRC copy! I definitely recommend it and I’m going to have the library get a copy.
From the description: “Sébastien recently moved to supernatural Paris hoping to get away from his troubles at home and live a peaceful life learning magic. But what are you going to do when the really hot vampire you made out with last night to forget your troubles turns out to be your new neighbor?
Sébastien (a demisexual boy with “main character hair” and a bunny named Pierre), meet Elia (a hot, supermodel, vampire neighbor and crush).
Join Elia, Sébastien and their assorted crew of wonderful friends, as they navigate the ins and outs of dating in a modern and paranormal love story.”
Favorite Parts - I LOVE me some demi-rep! I identify as demi and it’s always delightful to see characters like me.

This book was very well done but it emotionally destroyed me. Very hard to read post 2024 election. Please read with care if you’re a queer, bipoc, or other marginalized person.
