sophie was actually justified in everything she did, she was a shit fucking friend to agatha but i put that down to pure dumbness or lack of social awareness rather than malice. she was bloody annoying but she wasn't evil until the school itself gave her a reason to be a villain. dare i say she is another neurodivergent person failed by the school system. a victim of her environment. tedros is a sexist POS and actually needs to die. hort is amazing though. agatha is the biggest traitor to the goth race. she is like the new crow movie. she is like tim burton dropping out of mai the psychic girl and making ms lose all respect for him. the fact she actually likes tedros and gets used to the "good" lifestyle is insane. i know plenty of goth girls ungoth for average boys but i consider them all posers. ❤HORT IS TRUE GOTH❤ we love HORT.❤  anemone needs to be fired for cultural appropriation.

I hate this book. The themes are so inappropriate for a middle school book. I hated hearing fat shaming, beauty culture, diet culture, and misogyny themes for middle school kids. I'm not sure if it was the authors preference for the narrator to give a lisp to the only Asian character or it was the narrator/producers decision but it was the wrong choice. Also why the fuck are teenagers naked in this book. Worst thing I have read all real. I finished it hoping the moral of the story would correct all of those things but it doesn't. For middle school books, I hope it fixes it at the end of the series but I will not be finishing the series. I also don't think those warnings shouldn't be on a middle school book if it's a series. I understood the good might not be good moral theme but to hear girls learning horrible things about self worth I hated it.

• I haven't encountered a book so viciously fatphobic in at least a decade
• the way it sexualised 12 year olds is absolutely disgusting (I can see why they aged the characters up for the movie)
• weirdly homophobic as well. kids calling each other gay as an insult might be accurate but it's certainly not something that I'd like to model for them??
• I think this author has a reeeealy poor opinion of women 

please don't give/recommend this series to the youths, it's genuinely awful towards most kinds of people
