I happen to have read He’s Just Not That Into You, years ago, when I was doing a roundup of dating advice books. (They mostly suck, and the popular book mentioned above is … err … okay, honestly? It’s no exception to the rule.)
Thankfully, Scholastic’s twist on the dating book is so awesome that I now have something I can honestly recommend to friends with relationship woes. The Vampire Is Just Not That Into You by “Vlad Mezrich” debuts next month, and it’s chock full of fantastic advice about how to make a vamp love you (and what to do when he inevitably leaves you or tries to eat you).
When Scholastic sent me their book list and I saw this title, I was all, “No! No more vampires! No dating books about vampires. What is the world coming to???”
Thankfully, any time David Levithan is involved with a project you can count on either (a) hilarity, or (b) hilarity, or (c) both.
My biggest complaint? The book is being published as a paperback and then being sold for only $7.99. If a girl is silly enough to want to date a vampire, she should pony up a few more bucks for some good advice. This should be a hardcover at the very least. Preferably covered in 24-carat gold leaf.
Anyway. Coming next month, to a bookstore near you. Buy it, read it, come back here and discuss it.
PS. This is the Last Vampire Book Ever. More on that when the tome’s pub date rolls around.
