This is a fun story about an accidental vampire becoming accustomed to her new circumstances. Lily is our protagonist, and has a wonderfully supportive best friend. Her mom is okay, too, other than having tried to get Lily to lose weight her entire life. The weight thing has been hard on Lily's self-esteem, so she's surprised when a hottie like Tristan shows interest. But then...oops, turns out Tristan may have wanted only One Thing--Lily's tasty blood. 

Too bad Tristan, who is actually a nice guy, if a little old fashioned (a hazard of being hundreds of years old), has an enemy, who uses Lily's accidental turning into a Huge Deal. Battle of life or death ensues and of course, love wins.
