false 33453 13 Nineteen-year-old Tommy is a bewildered hipster recently relocated to San Francisco from Incontinence, Ind. His sarcastic redhead (and bloodsucking) girlfriend, Jody, brings him into the fold of the undead ("I wanted us to be together," she says). Tommy, understandably, has mixed feelings; vampirism has its perks (you can turn to mist, live forever and the sex is awesome), but sunlight is death and blood hunger makes you do some pretty foul things. Also, the duo is hunted by Elijah, the ancient vampire who "turned" Jody and wants her back, and a band of Safeway stock boys/amateur vampire hunters known as the Animals (with whom pre–dark side Tommy once rolled). With the assistance of their devoted minion, goth girl Abby Normal, whose hilarious diary entries form part of the narrative, Tommy and Jody evade their pursuers, feeding at night and conking out at dawn, all the while learning how vampirism complicates love. <p> "You bitch, you killed me. You suck!" </p> <p> Being dead sucks. Make that being <i>un</i>dead sucks. </p> <p> Literally. Just ask Thomas C. Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody&#8212;the woman of his dreams&#8212;is a vampire. And surprise! Now he's one, too. </p> <p> 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. Like how much Jody should teach Tommy about his new superpowers (and how much he needs to learn on his own). Plus there's Tommy's cute new minion, sixteen-year-old goth girl Abby Normal. (Well, <i>someone</i> has to run errands during daylight hours!) </p> <p> Making the relationship work, however, is the least of Jody and Tommy's problems. Word has it that the vampire who nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting any new members into the club. 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. </p> <p> And that really sucks. </p> 2015399 book 1 1 2007 You Suck: A Love Story total:7399|5:1508|4:2901|3:2253|2:572|1:165| 7399 27212 10501 1111 4 7 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Jan 14 09:15:25 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 14 09:16:24 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 9 true false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 20 17:27:29 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 11:27:03 -0700 2008
