Synopsis: When it comes to relationships, Remy doesn't mess around. After all, she's learned all there is to know from her mother, who's currently working on husband number five. But there's something about Dexter that seems to defy all of Remy's rules. He certainly doesn't seem like Mr. Right. For some reason, however, Remy just can't seem to shake him. Could it be that Remy's starting to understand what those love songs are all about?

I loved it so much, I think I went aww about 20 times at the end. It was so cute. It was once again a love story for non believers. And it hit close to home. I could really connect with Remy as a person because sadly, in the world of romance I am a lot like that. But thats what made the book so special. Finally a romance for girls like me who are picky, have rules, and just cant stand certain things being certain ways.  Not many people would understand Remy, because they are the types that sit on their couches reading romance novels going, "Thatll be me some day." I loved her mom, and her several broken romances. She reminded me of the classic example of a romance writer. I simply loved it. I could totally imagine her name on a Harlequin Romance novel cover. This book was just amazing. It was once again, a tale of love for non believers. You may not ever find love, or you may convince yourself of that, but hey this book may just change your mind :)

Synopsis: Why it still sucks to be me: Here I am some all-powerful (ha), all-knowing (yeah right), in-control (totally not) vampire, and my parents and the stupid Vampire Council still get to dictate everything I do. Not only did they make me fake my death AND funeral (I didn't even get to go!), but I had to leave behind my BFF Serena and move really far away. Meanwhile my boyfriend George is off "reconnecting with his parents" in Brazil. Land of beaches, bikini babes, and the biggest party in the world. He's probably going "Mina, who?" Grady asked me to Homecoming and won't take no for an answer. Did I mention cute but oh-so-complicated Cameron, the only other bloodsucking teen in town? That's because I'm trying not to think about him, tahnk you very much. And ugh, Raven. Is she seriously stalking Serena? Vampire superstrength can't fix this trainwreck. But can I?

Must I spell it out for you? I simply loved it. It was hilarious. I found it even funnier then the first book, (but then again, there was more cause for laughter in this book) (ie cow pie crown) However this book had a lot more drama in it. A lot. In the last book it was mostly teenage drama, this time it was like 'life or death,' drama. Good. I loved this book  a lot because it had a lot more sarcasm, and there was a lot more lightheartedness in this one. Which of course I loved :) I loved how it constantly goes, "Well the the Vampire Council in California while the one here is all relaxed and stuff." Loved that. I also loved how it was a vampire story, with once again an average teenagers strife. (No apologies to Twilight, sorry but teenagers lives are NOT like that) It seems that all second books are the best one and Still Sucks To Be Me is no exception. Dear vampire fans, go read it, although its recomended the first one is read first :)
