i was reluctant going into this book because two teenage girl main characters written by a man? a little worrisome. but i sort of realised that the book was satirical towards what horror stories of that genre are usually like. the characters are all very stereotypical 1980s teenage girls, but it didn't slow down my reading or deeply negatively affect my experience reading it.
the pop culture references were wonderful. i found a lot of small moments to be funny while reading.
and wow this book was such a page turner. i couldn't put it down; i was overcome with the sole thought of what happens next?
i would recommend it for people looking for something stranger things-esque

I loved the music references and it was enjoyable but look at the trigger warnings. Not much gore or violence lots of gross.
2. This book dropped a whole star because of good dog max dying on screen. I know it’s horror but killing a dog “on screen” better have a much better reason than this. Very subjective opinion here but yeah. Just a personal thing.
3. Loved how religion was portrayed in the book starting with the Bible at the birthday party. And with the twist on the exorcism itself. Brilliant.
