Synopsis:
From the creator of The Greatest Thing, a new YA graphic novel about bout 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?

Tour Schedule:
The Sweetness Between Us is a cute Graphic Novel on the onset with stunning colour palette but for people like me who has Chronic Illnesses it helps people like me to be seen and heard.
I really gelled with Perley and Amandine as what they were going through the wanting to be the way they were before but instead having to find new ways can be hard and through this wonderful Graphic Novel Sarah has shown this so eloquently.
I think this should be read by either a person suffering from Chronic Illness or a loved one so that no matter what the condition is they have a way to talk about it.
For all the above reasons The Sweetness Between Us receives 4 stars
