| Why to Read: | This manuscript is a fun YA premise that promises both a supernatural high school plot as well as an intelligent look at popularity in the age of social media. The “Relevants,” with their social media followings and drama club leanings, feel very current, and the fight over the lead role in the musical does a good job of creating inherent conflict in the early chapters. This is a high school story that feels like it could actually exist today, which is a truly unique accomplishment considering the supernatural elements at play. Combining horror, teen drama, and plenty of sarcasm and snark, this hits the perfect tonal sweet spot to be fun and engaging for everyone. |
