Unwrap My Heart: or It's Time For Mummies by Alex Falcone, Ezra Fox

funny fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

This was incredibly unserious in exactly the kind of way that I appreciate. A satire poking at the YA fantasy/paranormal romances of the late 00s and early 10s *cough* I'm looking at you Twilight. It felt like reading a SNL skit or something Tina Belcher would've written, except with mummies. Sofia, our main character, actually has some character growth, which I feel cannot also be said about Bella Swan. I laughed out loud multiple times because of humor, not horror. I'm glad this joke was published.
