"Up to 3rd chapters it’s exactly what I need after watching the Jane Austen book club. It’s Austen inspired but not wordy or heavy." — Jan 01, 2026 03:45PM

The representation in THSI book was banging : like idk if the chronic pain was well described and written but I felt like it was accessible in description of it . LOVED THE AUTISTIC REPRESENTATION!! like it meant a lot to me since I realised it was the first book where a character who shoes autistic traits was viewed as desirable/a love interest WITHOUT being changed in anyway. And I love how like well it was written , I swear I could ahve played bingo on stuff I did and stuff Clem did but that made me feel so seen and happy. (It’s why the book went from 4 to 5 stars)

I’m a sucker for interconnecting stories or characters (which is why I like Love Actually so much ) so I was so hyped whenever Wes and Vince turned up. Also love how they made Wes’s tage “Wager1” as in the title of the last book, clever af also means I didn’t have to Remember Wes’s tag from the last book, since I forgot . Also I’ve got a feeling that they conflict will always be a heart wrenching accidental (well intended) betrayal with links to that evil pharmaceutical company (I can’t be asked to spell it ) .

The PLOT TWISTS!! We’re so good ,even if I predicted a few of them, but tbh I didn’t predict all of them (and my autistic ass normally predict twists ) but juts to mention I LOVED the on going mystery of What Justin did to end up there with so much guilt, like the Jose mystery which was super surprising AND ONG DID I HATE ANTONYS GUTS but damn I didn’t predict like anything he did .

There so many quote I could say were my favourite quote or moment cause OMFG it was so good like so many analogies of vampirism as a disability or as queerness or as like unconditional acceptance. And gods do I love a good analogy.

The only complaints is that it nearly made me cry in the car, Justin’s reluctantly to accept his own happiness and what he deserved and I understood why , it was juts SOOOO FRUSTRATING!! it took me a while to warm up to the characters but that might be cause I took a break of reading BUT by the end I LOVED ALL OF THEM!!

P.S.thank you D.N.Bryn for writing this ,enabling myslef to see someone who thinks like me in a book this damn good ! ...more "
