Monsters: A Love Story
By:"Liz Kay"
Published on 2016-06-07 by Penguin

**Selected as a Summer Beach Read Pick by Harper’s Bazaar, the Associated Press, Purewow, and Refinery29** A cracklingly funny and poignant debut novel about a perfectly imperfect love story. This is the story of Stacey Lane, recently widowed poet and certified mess, and unbelievably sexy Hollywood star Tommy DeMarco. Tommy’s passion for Stacey’s novel-in-verse (a feminist reimagining of Frankenstein, no less) will set their lives on a collision course as they go about making the book into a movie, making each other crazy, and making love—but only in secret. Fueled by desire, love, grief, the expectations of gender, parenthood, and expertly poured cocktails, Monsters: A Love Story is a witty portrait of a relationship gone off the rails and two people who are made for each other—even if they’re not so sure they see it that way. From the Hardcover edition.
