This was a really cute book! The story was orginal too! Unlike a lot of the vampire stuff taht is being produced lately, because of the darn Twilight craze..... The characters were good, not too over the top or dramatic, and they fit the  specific character persona fairly well too. The plot was good, although I wished she had said what color Mina's eyes turned at the end.... :) just curious. I suggest that you read it! It's pretty good, and you can pick it up anytime! Quick, and easy read.

Ever have parents peer pressure you to make a choice?Well for mina it literally "sucks" since her parents want her to become a vampire. As if it wasn't enough trying to get Nathans attention would he like her with fangs?And how can she leave her bff serena?Great humor,mina's sarcasm,and a touch of romance make this book unique when it comes to anything related to vampires ;) The sequal won't let you down!I love this series.

I really enjoyed this book!  Mina's parents are vampires and she has just learned that she has a couple of weeks to decide whether she wants to become a vampire or remain human.  The Vampire Council has found out about her (her parents kept her secret from them) and are forcing her to choose.  On top of that she has to deal with regular teenage stuff - boys, best friends, boys, snobby girls and regular life.  She meets new people when she attends vampire classes to decide whether she wants to or not.  What would happen if she decided not to turn?  Would her parents support that, would the council punish her or her parents, what about her best friend if she turns?  This book was told with humor as a forefront and was just fun to read.  The ending wasn't what I expected but it fit.  Read this book, Mina will make you smile and her problems will make you reevaluate.  However, the best part is the way she deals with it all.  There are lots of little side stories, or characters, that help add to the story.  Waiting for the second book!

Mina is forced to take vampie lessons or deal with the consequenses. And if that isn't enough she has to decide if she actually wants to become a vampire.  She has to trust her weird uncle to give her all the facts and help her make the right desicion. There is a little bit of romance thrown in there as well. Sounds pretty good, huh? Well it is. It Sucks to be Me is a great easy read that I highly reccomend.

I LOVE this book! I like how it is so... modern and that the girl deals with everyday girl problems! I love how Mina has  2 choose. And how she goes from one boy to another to another! i LOVE her decision in the end. It is probably the same decision i would have chose.

This book was very funny and was an easy read. I found it hard to put the book down when I opened it. The humour in this story was well weaved in with the plot line about Mina choosing whether or not to become a vampire. She has a few guys in her life and it helped take a break from the vampire theme. So overall theres a good balance between the ordinary teenage life and the vampire theme. I would definitly recommend this book to anyone whether you love vampires or would prefer not to read those kind of stories. It's balanced for both kinds of people.

This is one of my favorite books. Mina is a average teenage girl expect that her parents are vampires and she cant tell anyone, even her best friend. When the vampire council finds out that she exists they force her to make a choice between becomeing a vampire or leaving her parents forever and loseing her memory of them. this is a great book that realates to everyone.
