Boys, coming of age and Rocky Horror Picture Show. Need I say more? Why are 8th graders doing these things?! This story was good but part of me was horrified that girls so young would act this way. Forget first kisses! Lets turn it up a few notches! Well written but I would have felt out of my element as a teen and as an adult, I worry for the young girls out there now if they act this way.

Just a cute short story about growing up and how much life can change so quickly in middle/high school. Set against the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Truly my biggest complaint is that it was so short. I would read a full novel of Leta and Agnes navigating 8th and 9th grade

Cute story with fun Rocky Horror references, but I wish there was just more to the story. Even within the 50 pages, it could have made more of a bang.

It was so cute and innocent! it was pretty predictable but I still enjoyed it. I just wanted more of the story! There is so much that needs to go more into depth but I loved the main character Leta. Solid short story but I love Libba Bray and wish there was more :(

A great short story that really captures the life of a young teen in the 70s. My only complaint is that I could have used a novel full of Leta and Agnes. The story ends and leaves a lot unknown.

I wondered what kind of parents would take their kid to a midnight showing every week - but more importantly, what kind of parent would pick them up again. #snoozebutton
