All the characters in this book were well developed and easy to relate to for anyone who remembers what it is like to be a pre-teen/teenager. Y el segundo motivo es que al ser uno de los temas que más ronda por la literatura y el cine obviamente es de lo más manoseado que hay por lo que es muy poco posible que sorprenda o innove de alguna manera.

Me he demorado bastante en hacer una reseña sobre esto porque no tenía mucha idea de qué decir sobre esto en su momento. She turns her head to the right and sees Gretchen riding shotgun, the wind tossing her blond hair, shoes off, sitting Indian style on the seat, and they’re singing along to the radio at the top of their tuneless lungs. Not only do you get nostalgic for the 80s (an era that I didn't live in - 1989 baby here - and yet I still feel nostalgic for - explain that!It was exactly what I was looking for while I counted down the seconds until the premier of the new season of the best 1980s deliciousness since the actual 1980s .

Oh, and also so the author can say some pretty offensive shit and get away with it because, ya know, those were the times, amiright? I also can see a difference/improvement with Southern Book Club Guide To Vampires from this book's cohesiveness and plot tightness over all and shows nice growth.this is, by the way, the complete opposite of how we do in new england, which is pretty much exactly like The Scarlet Letter and The Crucible. Y definitivamente es así, de no ser porque es un relato que juega mucho con el humor negro que alcanza a salvarlo un poco. La narrativa es muy ágil y abarca muchos temas desde la adolescencia, con todos los cambios que ello acarrea, las malas decisiones, las locuras típicas de la edad, hasta las diferencias entre las capas sociales, porque gran parte de la trama se enmarca en un instituto de niños pijos donde Abby puede estudiar gracias a una beca, de este modo lo tendrá más difícil que sus compañeros adinerados que todo lo pueden con ayuda de sus padres a golpe de talonario, para que crean su versión de los extraños hechos que se están sucediendo y quién se encuentra detrás de ellos. It's set up as a flashback, which is fine, then the story occurs in 'real time' then it becomes the present again and a bunch of time skips, I just didn't think any of that was necessary, the main '80's' storyline more than holds its own. Again, Hendrix captured the 80s perfectly with classic reactions and sayings that were authentic to that era.

Best of all, I guarantee once you’re done reading you will look at the power of friendship in a whole new light. This brought back a lot of memories for me and made it even more relatable when it comes to the power of friendship and just dealing with everything that tends to happen in those four years of high school. this one kinda bats around the idea of that ambiguity in a half-hearted way, but it’s more a case of “presenting logical alternatives” than “maintaining two possible storylines simultaneously.There was no falling-out, no great tragedy, just a hundred thousand trivial moments they didn't share. That was a first for me in a horror novel and helped take this reading experience to a whole other level. You see the bond that is created between these two girls, Abby and Gretchen, from Abbys 10th ET themed roller disco party.
