Double Date, Volume 23 by R.L. Stine
3.0
The story revolves around Bobby Newkirk, a high school boy. He believes he is God’s gift to women because of his good looks. After dating them for a while, he discards them like used tissues. Until he meets his biggest challenge: the Wade twins. Samantha and Bree are complete opposites, while Bobby strives for high school fame. Can anyone else date twins simultaneously and display both animal magnetism and self-confidence? Only “Bobby the man.”
Bobby is the most conceited and self-absorbed character I’ve ever read. The mentions of it being unfair to deny school girls ‘Bobby the Man’ made me want to puke. He believed every girl he met was in love with him. Sometimes, Bobby would walk off, smugly laughing about how so-and-so desperately wanted him back, after a girl clearly hated him. I found him excessively dramatic.
The plot itself was intriguing. I grasped the book's plot initially. However, it became harder to tell the twins apart as the story continued. My feelings about the ending were mixed as well. Bobby got what he deserved for messing with the girls, but it would have been better if one sister had been a killer instead of a prank. Compared to what I was expecting, it all seemed a little anticlimactic.
Double Date is a quick read, most readers can finish that in a day or two. I would highly recommend it.
