A true showcase of conversations taken out of context!
I really liked how at the end we were made to believe that the story was turning into a horror movie! 
I had figured out that they were all gathered
to celebrate his birthday a little bit before it was revealed, so I was DREADING it. But I think they did a great job of not making the conflict horrific and unrealistically over the top.

I like how this graphic novel shows how much the world is open to new ideas, while simultaneously rejecting those same ideas. Media rarely shows country and rural areas being welcoming to people of different sexualities and races. So I'm glad this book showed that is a possibility while also having the same area be filled with homophobic and racist individuals. 
There are people who accept or hate anywhere, the amount in one area changes by location. 
Overall, a very fun read! :)

What an interesting combination of horror and queer romance. The characters were so realistic! And Terciero is very skilled at slow revelations. Although I would’ve liked the ending to be more drawn out and filled with queer love, I was satisfied.

I’ve never read Northanger Abbey (though the Author’s note at the end now makes me want to check that out too - I loved this retelling and how the author connected the main character’s queer identity to his love of horror movies and his questioning of mysteries happening all around him. This is a sweet read with a sweet romance as well as meaningful family and friend relationships.
