Thoughts:
You Are So Undead to Me is about a 15 year old girl who can't remember part of her past. She still has nightmares about that night. The night a Zombie bit her. Yeah I said Zombie. You see, that girl, Megan, she's not your average teen. She's a Settler. Don't know what that is? Well then, let me tell you. Settlers are those few people who have to put the Unsettled a.k.a Zombies, back in their graves. They are Unsettled because they basically have some unfinished business. There can be some problems with these Unsettled though. For example, they could be seen which could be really bad, or they could become Reanimated Corpses because some evil Black magic using psycho is bringing them back in order to do some bad like say try to make Megan's life sucky. Something crazy and super evil is going on and it is highly likely that someone may be trying to kill Megan or the people around her or both. Yikes! Suspense! :D
The main guy just so happens to be a really hot guy who is also basically a cop. He's not really a cop but that's the equivalent of what he is in the Settler "world" (I mean world as in, totally different from the normal non-settler people not like Aliens or something). He's three years older than her okay? Not some 30 yr old creeper. Just wanted to make that clear. I really liked him and his relationship with her.
I REALLY liked reading this book! I've read/seen similar things, but it's creative and cute enough to be different and to make it stand out quite a bit. Some parts actually made me laugh out loud and who doesn't love that?
About the cuteness--Gosh it was so darn cute! All of it, I loved it! There were some moments that were so sad. I seriously felt heartbroken when the character felt heartbroken. Poor girl I felt so bad for her. :( Do you know what that means? Yes I'm a wuss, but it also means I really "connected" with the protagonist. That's the absolute main reason I liked this book so much. So many will relate to it which just makes that much of a better read.
I'll admit, I thought this book might not be that great. I'm happy to say I was wrong, so, SO wrong. Give it a try, you'll find yourself liking it too.
Something I didn't like though was the whole mystery part of it. There's a bad guy so you are constantly wondering "Oh man, who is it? Is it that person? Or maybe that one?" I kinda figured out who it was, but only partially. It's hard to explain without spoiling it, so I just won't say more. Not to make you guys think I'm smart when it comes to solving mysteries, because I'm NOT, I just tend to guess right is all. So don't be put off by that. I felt like pointing it out anyway. I honestly didn't find this book predictable, but if you're a really good guesser like me, then you might figure it out. There are quite a bit of twists and turns so I doubt you'll be exactly right, I sure as heck wasn't. Actually you know what? I don't think you'll figure it out, there's just no way. hehe Sorry :D
Cool:
I loved that the writing kept me glued to every single page. I finished the book pretty quickly because I really enjoyed the story, I just had to know what was going to happen next.
The Shmeg thing is HILARIOUS!
Not so cool:
I didn't really like the whole amnesia thing then all of a sudden she remembered it all. I get what the author was going for, but the way it was written, it just didn't do it for me, it didn't convince me.
I didn't like the fact that there's no explanation for why Megan's mom doesn't tell her about her past. I mean, the mom must have known about that guy.
Note:
I just want to say, I do not appreciate the fact that John Heder was basically said to be unfortunate looking tsk tsk He's cute! :D I get that the author is basically comparing his "nerdy" looks to those of the main hot guy but tsk tsk not nice, man, not nice.
Another thing, I thought the Josh eyebrow thing was a bit odd. The reason for it not the act itself.
A Look Inside:
"Very Mature. And this was the woman I was supposed to respect as the Yoda to my Skywalker. She was way more Wookie."
"I closed the journal and hurried to the front of the room, feeling like I was back in the third grade getting in trouble for reading Princess Diaries novels instead of my stupid assigned reading."
"Think of the she-devil and she shall appear. 'Thanks, Monica. I really appreciate your concern,' I said, my tone so sweet it could have caused a diabetic to go into shock."
