Picked this up at the dollar store. Looks entertaining.

Francis the vampire has decided to attend high school, and Mel's best friend Cathy is smitten. This is not okay with Mel, who has never been a fan of the room-temperature blood suckers. However, in her efforts to pull the two apart, Mel stumbles upon a much bigger story, one that leads her right into the heart of the vampire neighborhood. This book is clearly written by lovers of the vampire romance who fully accept and embrace its flaws. It pokes fun at all the tropes and gave me quite a few giggles, but it's never a mean-spirited takedown of the genre as a whole. In short, if you like vampire stories but don't take them too seriously, this is a whole lot of fun.
A note on this edition: I found this at the dollar store, where the books are pretty much all overstock. I think the cover art did this one in. It was just stock photos of teenagers who didn't look at all like the characters (I assume) they were supposed to represent. If I didn't read the backs of so many of the books at the dollar store (far more than I do books at a bookstore with a larger inventory), I would have passed it over too.

Giving to my friend KateKintail for her TBR pile. I think this is the sort of book she'd like.
