Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Bookluver-Carol

So, you think your life sucks? Try being Mina Hamilton. Her parents are vampires, which would sound cool if they werent so bo-ring and parent-like. And now Mina has to decide whether or not she wants to be one too&in a month. As if high school wasnt bad enough, now shes got to go to vampire classes with a bunch of freaks who actually want to drink blood (Gross! As if sushi wasnt bad enough.). And she cant even tell her best friend about any of it, not with a bunch of red-tape-loving vampire bureaucrats breathing down her neck. Hows a girl supposed to find a prom date and get through school with all this blood-sucking drama going on?


You are sucked into this book from page one. Mina's voice is original, funny and truly engaging. She felt real and seemed like a teenage girl you might know.The little facts and truth about some vampire myths over each chapter were pure genius and each myth had something to do with that chapter. The book made you laugh a lot and the spin added to this vampire book was great. Pauley writes like an experienced author and I had trouble believing that this was her debut novel. The plot was great and fun to read. This was a fast read that had you laughing at every page. The romance, humor,normal teenage problems, and vampires incorporated into this book makes Sucks to be Me a perfect summer read that everyone should read.
