Sweetness Between Us | Sarah Winifred Searle
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
From the creator of The Greatest Thing, a new YA graphic novel about a boy dealing with a chronic illness who finds a new friend in a vampire classmate, perfect for fans of Vampire Academy. After health problems wiped out their first few weeks of school, Perley and Amandine are both starting their Junior year behind their classmates, and both have major changes in their lives that they're struggling to get used to. Perley was diagnosed with diabetes over the summer, and worries that all these new medical expenses will be a hardship on his family. And Amandine, part of a venerated family of vampires, has been turned much younger than she expected to be after a car accident nearly killed her. The two of them form a fast friendship - both feel a little out of step with their old lives, and as a bonus, it turns out that Amandine's new vampire abilities can help Perley save money on blood glucose tests. But as the year goes on, they're forced to admit that maybe their coping strategies - and their blood-sipping-turned-romance - aren't working out so well after all. Will they be able to get their lives back to normal? Or will both have to figure out new ways for their "normal" to look?

Two students returning from long medical absences are thrown together in a special class designed to help them catch up/reintegrate back into school life. One is adjusting to life with type 1 diabetes, the other to life after what would have been a fatal car accident if vampirism didn‘t run in the family.

It‘s often very sweet, but I think portrays teenage anxieties pretty realistically.

3 ⭐ What happens when a newly made vampire and a newly diabetic teen get stuck in make up class together. You get this book. Two teenagers coming back from a medical absence in school are required to work together in a special class until they‘re ready to be back in the main class. And while they suffer from two very different things, they find friendship and kinship in their abilities and disabilities.

LibrarianRyan This book was, almost too sweet. It ran a little long. Also in the beginning, there was a bit of confusion. The art is OK, but the artist draws almost all their men like women, so I went in thinking I was getting a novel and it‘s not. I‘m not just saying the main character I mean almost all the men are drawn feminine. There‘s nothing wrong with that, but it did make things a little confusing in the beginning when the story relied more on the 8mo
LibrarianRyan pictures in the words. This book was good but not will be talking about in 20 years.
