(2) YA Sweet, vulnerable high schooler Emily wishes she was more like flawless beauty Charlotte. Meanwhile, after nearly a century as a wealthy, glamorous vampire, Charlotte wants only to be an imperfect teenage girl. The dramatic narrative blends elements of gothic romance with a Weetzie Bat–like setting. Offering sex, love, glamour, and danger, the book will be gobbled like candy by teen readers.
