When Life Gives You Vampires by Gloria Duke
2.0
Spoilers ahead.
I really wanted to love this book. A light hearted Vampire romp with plus sized representation seemed right up my reading alley. As much as I wanted to love Lily she didn’t feel like a real character. It read more like what someone thought the internal monologue of a 25 year old plus sized person would be and it felt inauthentic. Add in a bunch of silly plot points and a completely ridiculous denouement when we finally meet the big bad and I was rooting for the vampire slayer to kill the main character and all of the vampires by the end.
