Do the reading!
If you want to read along with us so you aren't just taking our word for it, here's what we're doing for our upcoming episodes:
The Persian Boy by Mary Renault
The Boyfriend by RL Stine
Monstrous teenagers and teenage monsters! Thrill as mean teenagers fake deaths, fake zombiefication, fake other deaths, and then can't figure out why nobody likes them!
Message from 'Nam by Danielle Steel
DO NOT FUCK PAXTON ANDREWS. Avoid accidentally making eye contact with Paxton Andrews. If you absolutely must enter a room with Paxton Andrews take extreme precautions so you don't die horribly in the Vietnam War. It's pretty good for her career as a journalist tho.
This one has no sexual assault but it does have a horrible pointless war, an awful murder-suicide, bombings, screaming, howling, and a mammy. (YES A MAMMY. Yeah I wasn't expecting that either.)
