This was just... absolutely incredible. I loved it so, so much! This is definitely a book I will read time and time again. Though it was very, VERY hard for me because the MC is losing her father from cancer & well, so did I. So I was just a BLUBBERING MESS throughout so much of this... but it also made me smile, laugh, and feel all the good things. The MC isn't exactly LIKABLE at FIRST... but idk she is a little morally grey which I liked, & I could empathize with her, so I guess I understood the way she was acting, even though she was incredibly selfish. But as the novel goes on she becomes more likable & I loved being a part of her journey of growth. Especially because her & her father share a love for vampires, and so he doesn't want her to miss the trip to New Orleans they planned together to search for proof of their existence just because he is too sick. Her family sends her off with her estranged best friend, Henry (which omg their relationship is something else lol but they are so cute!), and not only does she search until she finds a possible vampire, who she is constantly evaluating to see if he actually is or not lol... she is on a MISSION to have one turn her so she can then save her father by turning HIM before he dies. This guy sends her on a quest in New Orleans to complete different tasks to decide whether she is a good vamp candidate... and ahhhh This BOOKKKK ! SO GOOD! If anyone has ever had a very close loved one pass, I feel like you will connect with this book on a deeper level the way that I did, but its also actually a really ADORABLE, FUN, and yes, also sad, YA contemporary dream of a book!
100% recommend!
