A hilarious debut novel about a perfectly imperfect love story that will delight fans of Evvie Drake Starts Over.
Even the smartest people can be stupid at love.
Â
When Stacey Lane writes a feminist take on Frankenstein, she never imagines it will catch the eye of unbelievably sexy Hollywood star Tommy DeMarco. Tommyâs passion for her bookâand for her, a recently widowed poet, mom, and certified messâthreatens 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 otherâeven if theyâre not so sure they see it that way.
