Queen B’s Decree: Skater Boy was definitely different than I was expecting. It’s set in 1989 and the timeline is constantly flipping back and forth between past and present.
I will be brutally honest. So much of Skater Boy confused me. Who owns Patchwork House? How do they pay for bills? Does anyone care that teenagers are living on their own?
Moving past all my questions, Skater Boy was a fun read. The constant back and forth of Flip got to be annoying after a while (PICK A SIDE AND STICK WITH IT!) and I didn’t like how slowly the secrets were revealed. But those secrets are what kept me going? So it worked.
The relationship between Tweetie and Flip is sweet. Flip’s obsession was obvious and adorable, and Tweetie was naturally drawn to him.
Overall, I’m left with more questions and I require answers. King’s book is necessary in my life.
