Not going to lie – I didn't expect to find myself crying like an infant when I finished reading this. And yet.

Novela más bien tirando a juvenil con algunos tintes de terror hacia las últimas páginas.
No está mal, pero no es lo que esperaba. Además creo que es demasiado americanada años 80 para mi gusto

i was hoping for "Final Girl Support Group," but this was all my library had, so i settled
truly i don't know what i was expecting after having read Hendrix's "The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires," because i got sucked in AGAIN by a sweet cover and a cool premise that both did not deliver. it felt like it went all over the place, and the "horror" was more just gross? not really all that scary, just sickening (which can be done well in horror, but obvi this did not - hence the 2 stars)
idk it was better? maybe? than Southern Guide (less outwardly racist at least, but i could be wrong about that it's been over a year since i've read it), but just didn't do it for me.

TW for animal death, (like family dog death and it's very upsetting), and body horror
My bestie, Jordana, recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad I finally got around to reading it. It's rare to find a male author who writes women as people without being absolutely ridiculous about it, so it was a breath of fresh air to read about two completely normal teenage girls written by a man. I loved the story of how Gretchen and Abby became friends because it's so realistic. I bonded with my best friend over Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Gretchen and Abby bonded over E.T. I love it. The friendship, the '80s nostalgia, and the very realistic teenagers—all of it was great.
The Lemon Brothers were the highlight of this book. Bodybuilders for Jesus had me cracking up. Literally everything Christian said had me laughing. Sometimes God lets you hit rock bottom, so that you know that he is the rock at the bottom!!!
Highly recommend the movie and the book tbh. The movie was a good adaptation, and some of the changes they made were for the better. LIKE NO DOGS DYING.
