This book was a disappointment for me, due to the lack of horror. I'm a pretty wimp of a person when it comes to horror things, and I thought it wasn't scary at all. If you like light (slightly silly) horror, this book might be for you though! It focuses more on the friendship dilemma and the MC's struggle with being the only one who knows what is happening with bestie.

The writing in this book is not my favourite, if I'm honest. It reminds me of American 80s/90s "teen" films. I also didn't like the characters in the book. Abby was supposedly a really nice person, but I didn't really get that vibe from her. Even though I felt bad for her home situation, I still thought she was annoying and ungrateful. Her mother was cool in that one scene though.

I admit. This is one of the times when I definitely picked up the book because of the gorgeous retro cover.
