so-so

I feel like this was so close to a pick, and I wanted to give it a pick because let‘s be honest, someone had to write the slasher roller rink book. However, this was several drafts away from being ready. The first 3rd is the setup of high school kids going to a roller rink lock in on 1980 New Year‘s Eve. The 2nd 3rd is the slashing. The last is the surviving. I did get sucked in by the nostalgia, and I rooted for some kids but the story and 👇🏼

Reggie the writing were just very meh. (edited) 5y

batsy Aww that's too bad. Stacked it after your last post because of the cover, lol 5y

Reggie @batsy there was this one nice paragraph where the roller rink DJ tells the kids it‘s time for all the lovers to get out on the floor. And then he plays “I wanna rock with you,” by Michael Jackson. And all the couples go out skating on the floor holding hands. It was just a nice little scene. It gets very high school nostalgic. Lol But yeah, just meh. 5y

batsy 😆 Now I feel the need to listen to old school MJ! 5y

Bookzombie I‘m so bummed that this wasn‘t a pick. I had high hopes. Great review! 5y

ValerieAndBooks How I spent my time in Junior high and HS!! At the roller rink. But without the crime 😂 5y

Centique Never mind! So much nostalgia for roller skating and holding hands with a boy - was the peak of romance at fourteen 😂😂 5y

Reggie @Bookzombie me too!!! Thanks, Margie! I‘m gonna read another of his because this woman who gave him a bad review of this book in such a great review on Goodreads couldn‘t get over the fact that his other book was so good for this one to be this bad. It‘s called Kill River so I think I‘m gonna give it a try, cause the guy definitely has potential. 5y

Reggie @ValerieAndBooks @Centique I went to my friend Eric‘s 13th birthday party at a rollerink. Valerie, I‘m glad there was no crime.😂 This book was kinda nice in that in the back he provides a playlist and the likes of ELO, The Bee Gees, and ABBA was on it. 5y

Bookzombie @Reggie I have that one on my Kindle wishlist too! I look forward to your review. 🙂 5y

Bookzombie I can‘t wait for your review. I have had it on my list since I heard about it on an episode of Books in the Freezer. 5y

Reggie @Bookzombie funny story, I can‘t remember what book I looked up this past week it was but it was a review from 2 years ago and in the chat you told someone you heard about it on that podcast BITF and I had never heard of it. Listened to the episode that mentioned this book. This is what they call full circle, no? Lol 5y

Bookzombie Lol. 🙂 5y

Rissreads Love this cover! 💜 5y
