the end was totally unexpected, left me thinking, “what actually just happened there…?” the biggest tragedy is having to wait for the next book 😭 the eastern asian-like setting was delightful! (please forgive me if i’m slightly geographically wrong)

p284: that boy is really attracted to her
p287: is arthie a…vampire?
p290: yeah don’t know why i didn’t click onto that earlier, there was plenty of foreshadowing
p296: i swear this is one of the hottest things i’ve read in forever and it’s not even explicit
p298: right, what i don’t get though is how the coconut water actually helps
