Uninvited

Uninvited is about Jordan, a high school senior who is being stalked by her dead ex-boyfriend. The plot is far from complex, the writing is juvenile, and the characters are weak. But I just can't resist a new vampire story. Jordan and Michael spent two months together before they broke up and Michael slept with half the girls in school. Jordan thought it was true love and tried to get over it by binge-drinking, doing drugs, and hooking up with strangers. Then Michael killed himself. Or so everyone thought. But a few days later Michael shows up outside Jordan's window begging her to let him in so they can be together forever. Jordan spends months with a self-imposed sunset curfew drinking alone in her room having midnight conversations with someone who likely wants to kill her, and she considers opening the window. Finally, with the help of two friends, she successfully destroys Michael and lives happily ever after. She decides to get clean, finds out who her true friends are, and finds a nice, chaste relationship with another boy. The story is far from great and the characters' actions are unlikely and at times inconsistent, but it only took a day to read. On to the next.
