Review:

This was a great book! I found it cute and funny and I loved the characters. Because it was set in our modern world there wasn’t much world building but she did a great job at explaining vampires and the decade thing. I also really loved how the different characters interacted. I felt like I was reading all of their perspectives even though I was just reading Holly’s. I found it hilarious that you had to stay looking like how you died for the rest of eternity. Holly had crimped hair when she died and she had to have that through the entire book which was so funny. I also loved how well they described the characters in relation to their decades. Rose was especially well described. The ending was a little bitter sweet but I still loved how simple and optimistic it was.

Trigger Warnings:
Gaslighting, Sexual force, Physical and Verbal abuse.

Synopsis From Book:

When Elton Irving turned Holly Liddell into a vampire in 1987, he promised her eternal love. But thirty-four years later, Elton has left her, her hair will be crimped for the rest of immortality, and the only job she can get as a forever-sixteen-year-old is the midnight shift at Taco Bell. Holly’s afterlife takes an interesting turn when she meets Rose McKay and Ida Ripley. Having also been turned and discarded by Elton—Rose in 1954, and Ida, his ex-fiancée, in 1921—they want to help her, and ask for her help in return. Rose and Ida are going to kill Elton before he turns another girl. Though Holly is hurt and angry with Elton for tossing her aside, she’s reluctant to kill her ex, until Holly meets Parker Kerr—the new girl Elton has set his sights on—and feels a quick, and nerve-wracking attraction to her.
