Title-Why My Love Life Sucks

Series-The Legend of Gilbert the Fixer Book # 1

By- Shevi Arnold

Published-March 23, 2010

Review-

 The book was good! Gilbert Garfinkle our main character, was adorable. He is awkward and yes, geeky. Turning into a vampire changed it all. It was a fun sort of book. No angst. I loved the characters and the witty times. Gilbert tells his story involving this crazy episode. So he has no choice but to go with it, deal with being a vampire.

 Gilbert a true geek, he could fix anything! Socially, he was awkward and out of place, but he was him! His personality was no outgoing. He had a horrible home life, his mother was a bitch capital B.Amber is another character I liked, she is needy, but likable.

  The story had a lesson; acceptance, love, friendship, being kind. The cover was deceiving and I think a little juvenile. I think I would change it. Unless someone recommends it, I don’t think the cover will appeal to the demographic. Just me being nit picky.I will continue with the others in the series.

About the Author-

 I’ve always been super geeky about comedy, fantasy and science fiction.

When I was little, I’d take them apart and analyze them, kind of like what Gilbert Garfinkle–the hero of Why My Love Life Sucks–does with electronics. This continued into my college years, when I majored in English Literature and Theater Studies.

 For twelve years I worked in magazines and newspapers as an editorial cartoonist, illustrator, editor, arts-and-entertainment writer (specializing in children’s entertainment and, of course, comedy), and a consumer columnist.

 My last job was at the Jerusalem Post, but I had to quit when my family decided to move to New Jersey to pursue better education options for my autistic son.

 This was in February 2001. Since then I’ve written 40 picture books and seven novels for kids and teens, four of which I’ve indie published. I was an ABNA quarter finalist with Why My Love Life Sucks, and I won third place in SmartWriter’s Write It Now contest in the the YA category (which was judged by Alex Flinn, the author of Beastly) for my romantic, YA ghost story, Ride of Your Life.
