Today @KirkusReviews...
...I wrote about Lizzie Friend's Poor Little Dead Girls.
My editor titled the post A Secret Society Gone Bananas, which pretty much SUMS THE WHOLE THING UP.
Short version: LOTS OF FUN.
Click on through for the longer version:
Sadie doesn’t trust people blindly, and she makes a concerted effort to avoid making stupid choices—there are a few conversations about the idiocy horror movie heroines—and Friend works to give even the most two-dimensional of her characters at least SOME depth. (The British twins, granted, don’t get much in the way of fleshing out, but they are REALLY funny, and since they created their public personas as a very deliberate caricature, I gave them a pass.)
