Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee by Jeff Zentner

4.0

Cute! Definitely not as hard-hitting as Goodbye Days. Here for Lawson in every way. I would definitely suggest that people come into this book with laidback expectations, as it's definitely... sillier than you might anticipate. I enjoyed the amount of silliness overall, but I think the book did get a bit repetitive about halfway through. Some of the same jokes were made more than once and not as inside jokes, which worked the first couple of times but then got a bit old. I think Jeff Zentner's books (that I've read) are really good ones to give to YA boys (and all other genders, but especially if you're trying to get a boy to read more, or really anyone to read more). The two protagonists/perspectives are girls, but I think the writing is such that young adults of all genders will be interested in the story and the characters.
