You Suck: A Love Story

by Christopher Moore

🌶️🌶️mild·spoiler·A Love Story #2

Why Read This?

Abby Normal steals the show with her hilariously dramatic diary entries. Tommy and Jody as a vampire couple trying to figure out undead domesticity is comedy gold. Moore cranks up the absurdity while keeping the heart of the love story intact.

Synopsis

Being undead sucks. Literally. Just ask C. Thomas Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody, is a vampire. And surprise! Now he's one, too. For some couples, the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy and Jody are in love, and they vow to work through their issues. But word has it that the vampire who initially nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting. Even worse, Tommy's erstwhile turkey-bowling pals are out to get him, at the urging of a blue-dyed Las Vegas call girl named (duh) Blue. And that really sucks.

Vampire sex is referenced as being hot and awesome, but played for laughs rather than steam. Sex scenes are present but comedic in tone, not romance-genre steamy. sign in to unlock
