I quite enjoyed this book. As someone who is also chronicly ill I am always glad to see representation in media. I will say I do not have the illness depicted in this book so please check out reviews by reviews who have more knowledge about this illness. I also must say I was born with my condition so I have no idea what it feels like to have an illness develope later and completely change your life.
Now I have enjoyed seeing the change in "monster" media where we are using these creatures as metaphors for chronic illness as I sometimes find its more acceptable to others. This book did an excellent job of doing this having the vampire character having chronic exhaustion as well as being a vampire.
I also loved how diverse this book was in general. So many characters were queer and we see multiple disabled characters and characters of different races as well. Overall this was a really bright and uplifting book. I definitely enjoyed it and would love to see more by this author.

I LOVED this read. I really wasn't expecting more than a romance, but the depth that came with dealing with diabetes while also dealing with vampirism in a similar way was really really cool. It was a comforting read.

This is an awesome YA graphic novel about vampires, romance, and fitting in (or becoming comfortable with NOT fitting in) as a teenager. I loved the vampire stuff, to be sure, but the diabetes rep and the discussions of the US healthcare system and how horrific it is were an unexpected pleasure to discover here. It's certainly not a fluffy read, but that's always true for Searle's books. The darker depth is well-balanced with joy and fun, though.

This was a cute premise - a boy recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes befriends a newly turned vampire and eventually the two fall in love. While the cover is gorgeous, I wasn't a huge fan of the interior artwork. I actually thought the MMC was a girl for the longest time! Great disability rep and story but mediocre art for my tastes. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

A boy dealing with chronic illness finds a new friend in a vampire classmate... and together a sweet romance blooms. Perley has had to take time off school because he was diagnosed with diabetes over the summer and now has to catch up with school. When he's joined by another student, Amandine, a vampire, together they begin to sweet friendship that begins to turn into something more. Amandine is dealing with the struggles of being a recently turned vampire and what it means for her to adjust to a new lifestyle. Both of them are going through new struggles but together they'll get through it. This was a really cute read and I enjoyed the characters' journeys and how they fell in love. It's an overall really sweet read and I had fun with it. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a cute paranormal romance with a bit of coming of age and fun family and friends characters. The artwork is really cute too!
