One of the scariest books I have ever read, and that is saying a lot. It is a book that we read through a book that helps with the book we are reading. She is the one who works so hard to tackle her mental health through her JollyJournal. The reader sees everything through Kit, though it bounces around to her friend’s perspectives as well. And Tammy, the star basketball player of the team they are on at Samhattan high school. Kit, who fights hard every day against her anxiety, her best friend Dana who is so supportive of her and Natasha, the teller of the Daphne story, who is dealing with severe depression. Malerman has wrapped so much into this little book anxiety, mental health, friendship, acceptance and the all important relationship these teens have with their parents. So severe she once called 911 on herself. She is a legend in the small town in Michigan a legend no one dares to talk about. All you have to do is think about her, and she comes back from the dead, still wearing Kiss makeup, to kill you with her bare hands. Daphne had returned home, fell asleep, and then the garage door shut, killing her with carbon monoxide poisoning. She is a teenage girl who died while listening to music in her running car. She has also been dead since the 90s, a former resident of Samhattan, found inside her car in her garage. Daphne wears Kiss makeup, all eyes and long tongues. She has no friends or family and she likes to give creepy looks to anyone who comes near her. She likes to wear denim with patches of her favorite bands all over her clothing.
