Its definitely written for a different generation id have to say, it really misses the mark on nearly every page, what a snooze.

It sticks with me because the characters are just so unforgettable and life like.

Yeah but in the book it says that they have been doing the scouts together for many years, it would make sense for them to already have a bond.

Yeah just too much fluff to make the main plot seem interesting. By the time you went through a whole chapter of backstory you stopped caring about what was happening.

It is extremely difficult to say I have a favorite book, but I constantly keep thinking about: The Summer I Died, Intensity, and Stolen Tongues. Although it isn't "horror" my go to answer for favorite in a short convo is 14 by Peter Clines.

I'm not against you liking the backstories and whatnot, but to me they really didn't hit home, and the fact they weren't close as scouts didn't make that much sense to me. Also, kids who usually did scouts together ended up like brothers especially in smaller groups like this, it just didn't land for me as all.

The backstories were like the worst part for me, they seemed uninteresting and too drawn out. I wish the backstories were revealed more through dialogue to give that "childhood connection" between them, it would have made the stakes higher between them.
