Is it problematic? Sure. Is it silly? Also, sure.
But when I tell you I jumped at the chance to read this because of one thing: this book has haunted me since I was a child.
I have had the plot of this book, specifically the twist ending, stuck in my head for DECADES. I could remember reading it! I could remember being gobsmacked by the ending! I read it IN CHURCH as a child!! But I could not remember the author OR the title which made tracking it down nearly impossible.
But then I read the og fear street trilogy and saw this recommended and lost my mind. Sure, it's not as scary as I remember and it is very very silly but whatever, it was a quick fun read with a cool ending.
And it reminded me of the Fear Street Cheerleader books which I remembered I also devoured with a passion so brb, gonna go reread those now...
