I know this book was supposed to be a fun and hilarious romance story, but it didn't work for me. The main character and her friend made me want to throw my Kindle to the nearest wall several times! (but of course I didn't, I love my Kindle). There were so many impossible situations and silly decisions that I really thought every character in the book had a serious problem being sane.
I didn't buy the vampire story because for me it was loosely explained and seemed utterly absurd. And maybe I lost it in the beginning of the book, but I couldn't picture the ages of the characters. For the most part they seemed grown-ups with the minds of young teenagers with no concern to consequences.
The writing was clear, strong, and the reading is light. I did want to know who do it and who is the lucky man but I felt the read was a struggled for me. Some may find a fun story with funny characters ,for me the main character, Joy, irritated me. She is too wishy washy. I feel she wasn't a reliable narrator. There was times I thought the her true vampire love was going to tell her he was lying the whole time. Most of the dialog was cliche and not funny. The “Love” or lust seemed too easy and desperate. If you're into sexy time than this is the book for you even if I thought most scenes made my eyes roll with disbelief and I felt that the sex made the story drag.
