Saturday Detention

The story of a group of kids from different cliques in high school are sent for various different reasons to Saturday detention. They are tasked with writing an essay to explain why they are there. During the movie we find out why each of the individuals have been punished. Each clique is reprsented in this movie. The Jock (Estevez) The popular one (ringwald) The Nerd (Hall) The basket case (sheedy) and last but not least the trouble maker (Nelson) the movie shows us forms of peer pressure and what it is like to try and survive in a difficult high school and difficult life at home. The movie is a drama and shows us that every person has a weakness and is vunerable to emotion. Fun note the lead song by Simple Minds was supposed to be a Billy Idol song but, he turned it down.

Another enjoyable book from Keyes!

I listened to this on audiobook, and the narrator, Aoife McMahon, did a great job - except for the Geordie, male accent, but you can’t be good at everything, right?!
This is a funny, engaging book (a bit cringy during the sex scenes, but I suspect that might just be the convent-school educated girl in me ??‍♀️ ). The story was very enjoyable, although I did feel that she jumped into another relationship rather quickly (ahem, convent school...). But after listening further, it does make sense. She hadn’t been happy for a while, it seems. I loved the teenaged girls in the family - I think she wrote them realistically. I loved the family members too, and you get a real feel for an Irish family, and family dynamics generally. A great, fun book, with a few rather teary moments. Lots of feels, people!

Best one yet!

Contains spoilers, click to show

Trying to work things out with Nash - her maybe boyfriend - is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can't just pretend nothing happened. But "complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.

See, Sabine isn't just an ordinary girl. She's a mara, the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people's fears - and craft them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she survives.

And Sabine isn't above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever - and whoever - she wants.

I have followed this series for years now and they have just got better and better. This one did not disappoint! I'm glad she finally gave Nash the boot I've been rooting for Tod for so long!!
Can't believe we have only 2 books left !
