And of course because of the time period things like cell phones don't exist. People said "rad" and I refuse to believe that was a word that was ever uttered by a teen. Of course the writing and scenes are dated, this was published in 1989. The other teens were all right, but nothing shocking or revealing.
She's fitting that girl who screams and cries through a whole horror movie trope. I actually liked Pete (preppy) more since he had some sense. Gary is fitting that teen trope of leader of the pack, but dubiously. She seems sporty, and is indecisive about another guy who likes her since he is too "preppy" for her. Della though doesn't have a lot of personality I think.
I liked Della, and I think this is the first book that brings up Suki Thomas who pops up in a later book I am blanking on now. When an accident befalls, the teens all decide to lie about what happens, but it appears someone knows what they did (hello shades of I Know What You Did Last Summer) and the teens race to find out who knows what happened before one of them are harmed. But when the club's advisor has to cancel, the teens all decide to go anyway (dun dun dun) and a stranger appears who threatens Della. Della is looking forward to an overnight on Fear Island (why people why?) and hopes she can use that time to make up with Gary. "Overnight" follows teen Della who is part of an Outdoor Club at Shadyside High (oh Shadyside, more body counts than Sunnydale High School) with a couple of other teens which includes her now ex-boyfriend Gary. I was honestly a bit disappointed, but still liked the lovely vibe of the Fear Street books that I recall from my pre-teen/teen years. This was actually a pretty pat read and there were no surprises here. So weird to say that a Fear Street book did not have enough gore or murders going on.
