I originally read these in high school and wanted to revisit them. Made me genuinely laugh out loud at times. Unfortunately scenes with the creepy/pervert teacher character were uncomfortable and hard to read. (Why does no one call him out? HOW does he still have a job in a high school???)

Had I not read these before (and known I liked them) I would have put it down without finishing. These were good reads for nostalgia's sake, but tough to recommend for new readers.
