A bookseller I follow decided to reread this beginning 4/1 so I (and many others) joined her. I read this as a tween in the 80s (honestly, it’s not even close to the other adult stuff I read) as did most Gen X adolescents who were left to their own devices. Re-reading it more than 30 years later was a trip. It’s a gothic horror written like a soap opera; that’s all I can really say. Have I read worse? Oh yes. Have I read better? Oh yes, thankfully. I couldn’t put this down and I don’t think it was 100% due to nostalgia. Andrews did something right, even though it was all kinds of wrong in those pages!
