You are cordially invited to one of the most terrifying slumber parties in history: more specifically, Christopher Pike’s Slumber Party, which was published in 1985. In addition to being terrifying, this gathering is also extremely problematic… and you *know* that Alli and her guest are going to discuss every last detail. They chat about the book’s bizarre depiction of teen girls, spontaneous combustion, highly un-charming love interests, grotesque language around bodies, and so much more.

TW: eating disorders, sexual assault, bodily trauma
