Title: Like a high schooler's spiral notebook
Review: This book held promise, and then left it at the door. What is left is the musings of a high schooler who felt the need to include every cleverly turned phrase ever jotted down in the spiral notebook between classes. They all turn up here, and even one of the main characters pays hommage to the source by carrying a notebook of her own. If only she had lost hers like the rest of us do. Goths have taken quite a hit lately, and it's a shame that many will see this book and think it's a summary of the subculture. Not every Goth is bound by the need to be pretentious and sullen. Not every Goth writer will disappoint quite this way.
