amrabad 's review for:

Unwrap My Heart: or It's Time For Mummies by Ezra Fox, Alex Falcone
3.75
funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: 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.
