Talk:It Lives In The Woods/@comment-32996937-20180807090345

Replaying this book and I never realized how freakishly long each chapter was. The pre-title stories alone take time to get there, and the chapters themselves are filled with long... wondering... mostly useless conversations, not to mention the flashback scenes, where every kid just HAD to chime in. I mean, High School Story also had lots of characters and dialogue, but I personally never felt any of the chapters was too long. Here, they just drag, and drag, and drag.

Also, Lily and Britney's romance was just dumb.

Was gonna comment on how thinly written of a character Jocelyn is, but then again that's how PB always made their villains: she really is no different than the likes of Natasha or Brian or Kara or Bryce. The only villains that I really enjoyed were Nathan and queen HBIC Madeleine.
