“Romance is for straights. Queers get to bicker with each other about petty bullshit while we get killed one by one, you know that.”
➽ Your Lonely Nights Are Over is a YA Slasher about a serial killer who target's the school's queer club! A famous serial killer called Mr. Sandman emerges from retirement and starts to go on a killing spree again. He targets anyone who might be feeling lonely and I found his MO very interesting! It's inspired by the Mr. Sandman song! I liked that we get excerpts from a documentary on the topic in between chapters, as it added another layer to the story. Best friends Dearie and Cole are both in the sights of the killer, who's coming closer and closer to them. Even worse, someone is trying to frame them for the murders and the police is all too eager to blame Cole, a young black man. I liked seeing Cole and Dearie's friendship and how it changed with everything that was going on. The story was dark and suspenseful, touching upon homophobic hate crimes, police brutality and the danger of getting into relationships just so you're paired-up and no longer 'lonely'.

This is a YA book. I typically don't like YA (I'm just not the target demographic), but I think that this is one of those YA books that, while definitely for teens, is fun to read as an adult, too. (Especially if you were in a queer club in high school. Because, woof, this book captured that feeling of young queer drama well.)
