Monsters: A Love Story, Paperback

A hilarious debut novel about a perfectly imperfect love story.

Even the smartest people can be stupid at love.

When Stacey Lane writes a feminist take on Frankenstein, she never imagines it will catch the eye of unbelievably sexy Hollywood star Tommy DeMarco. Tommy's passion for her book--and for her, a recently widowed poet, mom, and certified mess--threatens to turn her life upside down, or maybe right-side up. From their first poolside meeting the two are set on a collision course as they go about making the book into a movie, making each other crazy, and making love, if only in secret. Fueled by desire, love, grief, expertly poured cocktails, and crackling dialogue, Monsters: A Love Story is a witty portrait of a relationship gone off the rails and two people who are made for each other--even if they're not so sure they see it that way.
