At least there wasn’t any horror, just gross scenes.

A book I should have read when I was 17, but glad I’m reading at 27. Glad I haven’t seen the movie, and glad I got out of my hometown. An ode to the fleeting grey area when you change from a kid to a teenager. To middle school friends who never saw each other again. I got arrested the summer after freshman year with a guy that I would’ve died for that I haven’t seen since, and I’m the better for it. A good book that feels more mature that it ought to be, but without the maturity of 11 year olds, it would be nothing.

Best Stephen King story I’ve read.

Favorite quote: “Love has teeth. They bite. The wounds never close. No word, no combination of words, can close those lovebirds. It’s the other way around, that’s the joke. If those wounds dry up, the words die with them.”
