Every Friday night, best friends Delia and Josie become Rayne Ravenscroft and Delilah Darkwood, hosts of the campy creature feature show Midnite Matinee on the local cable station TV Six.
But with the end of senior year quickly approaching, the girls face tough decisions about their futures. Josie has been dreading graduation, as she tries to decide whether to leave for a big university and chase her dream career in mainstream TV. And Lawson, one of the show’s guest performers, a talented MMA fighter with weaknesses for pancakes, fantasy novels, and Josie, is making her tough decision even harder.
Scary movies are the last connection Delia has to her dad, who abandoned the family years ago. If Midnite Matinee becomes a hit, maybe he’ll see it and want to be a part of her life again. And maybe Josie will stay with the show instead of leaving her behind, too. As the tug-of-war between growing up and growing apart tests the bonds of their friendship, Josie and Delia start to realize that an uncertain future can be both monstrous…and momentous.

this book fuckin GOT ME bc I thought it was going to be all JOKES and FUN and CHEESY PUBLIC ACCESS TELEVISION and then BAM I'm full-on sobbing in the gosh darn break room what the HECK Jeff Zentner?! I just loved these girls and their friendship and their adventureeeee and even their third wheel Lawson!! It is also REALLY funny until suddenly it isn't anymore. (Though I'd still call it a happy ending just EMOTIONS!)
