Summer Reading 2019 Book 7 is a sweet YA read


Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee by [Zentner, Jeff]
I picked this book up at NOVA Teen Fest back in March, and finally read it.  It is a sweet, funny look at friendship, relationships, loss, forgiveness, and growing up.  The two main characters, Josie and Delia alternate chapters/narratives. The voice was honestly similar in both, but their concerns are different enough that it was easy to keep track of who was who. I loved the references to horror movies, and hosts of goofy horror shows, which the girls share as they are hosting a similar show on their local cable channel.  While it is a YA title, I think HS school students will appreciate it more than MS students. Some of the situations are a bit more mature, and the issues are more relatable to kids about to leave HS.
