I only choose to read this bc it popped up in the search for Justina Ireland on my library website. She wrote one story and surprise surprise it was the only story I liked.
It's going to be hard to have flow from story to story when they're interconnected and written by 10 dif people but this struggled more than necessary. Like the POVs weren't consistent for the short stories; sometime they were framed as if the person was sitting there actually telling the story and others it was just a story out in the ether on it's own - no connection to the fact it's a "story telling contest" between 10 kids in the woods.
The ending sucks, witerally nothing happens. It's clearing referential of the breakfast club but ass.
Super disjunctive and the subject matter for each story was pretty dark and not handled well. One of the kids is telling a story about recording his 13 y/o sister cumming in her sleep and posting it on Youtube like I'm sorry wtf. Overall just sloppy and not worth the read. super lack luster ending
