My rating is not based on the quality of the writing or anything like that. It is based entirely on vibes. This book was a ride from start to finish, it was funny, disgusting, horrifying, and just...camp as hell. This was my second book for summerween, filling my slasher prompt, and what a GOOD choice for that prompt. I have minor issues, but they're just that - minor. The book isn't perfect, but if you take it at face value for what it is: a good time, not deep, then you'll have a good time.
