Summer holidays are over. Perley and Amandine should be busy with their school's knitting club and hockey, but instead, they're struggling with major life changes.

Perley has been diagnosed with diabetes and is trying to get his head around sugar levels and insulin shots. Amandine, part of a respected vampire family, has been turned much younger than she expected after a near-fatal car accident. Bonding over hospital trips and new diets, the two teens form a fast friendship. Amandine's ability to taste blood sugar levels is a helpful perk for Perley that also provides her with an ethical source of sustenanceβ€”essential for a vegan-turned-vampire.

But as the year passes, Perley and Amandine begin to realise that their coping strategiesβ€”and their blood-sipping-turned-romanceβ€”may not be as healthy as they first thought. Will they be able to get their lives back to normal? And when so much has changed, what does 'normal' even mean?

A sweet YA graphic novel full of fantasy, friendship, and first love, from the award-winning creator of The Greatest Thing.

'Rich and complex, reading this addictive YA romance is an exquisitely unique experience. I can't recommend this enough!' - AΕ›ka, co-creator of Stars In Their Eyes
