Slasher Crasher was described to me as Mean Girls meets Scream. I love both of those! I love the witty, teen dramedy of Mean Girls and of course I am obsessed with all things slashery and all things Scream!

I enjoyed the plot of the story - the drama between two former besties on Halloween day and how everything unfolds. The book is told from multiple POVs throughout the day and we get a timestamp as the day and book proceed.

A few things kept pulling me OUT of the story though. I swear like a sailor - I enjoy my dirty words. But I read the F word about 20 times in just 30 seconds sometimes. It seemed cuss words were just thrown into every other sentence, thought, dialogue, etc. It was just too much and did not add value to me. I also didn't enjoy that most of the book had people calling each other things like "fat b*tch, silly f*g, etc etc." While I understand the intent of all the fatphobia and homophobia, it was just too much and didn't seem entirely realistic. I was on the receiving end of many gay slurs and insults growing up, but based on this book you would think that 110% of my life was nothing but people calling me queer. I just couldn't connect to that element and it seemed overdone for a fictional story. It did not allow me to actually like any character or feel sorry for them when they all acted this way. And there were just entirely too many fart jokes and fart references for me.

But if I reflect back and get beyond all the superfluous derogatory comments and language that seriously took up way more space on the page than they should have, I still enjoyed the overall plot of the book. 3 stars!
