This is the most confused and conflicted I've ever been for trying to rate a book. On one hand, the 80's references came off a bit listy at times, the parents were absolutely frustrating/ awful, all the characters felt cliché (probably intentional) and were mostly unlikeable. One the other hand, I read 80% of the book in a single sitting and had amazing dark, scary moments that gave me real goosebumps! The tone/humor(?) of this book can feel a bit jarring, and it doesn't fully work for me.
Plus, not a big fan of dog killing, Christian Lemon did not work for me, and the ending was...eh?
