I really love rural southern imagery and this book was great for that. I really liked the complex deep connection between the 2 main characters, the author does a great job of depicting the silly, sweet, and beautiful depth of the intimacy between childhood best friends.

This wasn’t what I expected. It was far less an 80s horror and more a teen drama. The last quarter of the book was GREAT but the rest felt like filler just to get there.
