12. Beach Party – R.L. Stine

It’s not a beach novel (or a ski novel, or a camping novel) without some random group coming up to new people and trying to start some shit. How else do young hetero teens meet on vacation? At the library? (Note of experience: No. Be quiet.) Anyway, Karen and Ann Marie are having one of those vacations where they haven’t seen each other in a year, but then Karen finds someone else’s boyfriend and doesn’t have time to be distracted by the actual friendship that brought her to this beach. She’s a shitty friend and clearly doesn’t have respect for invisible girlfriends. Perhaps that’s why the bodies start piling up, Karen, perhaps it’s your complete lack of scruples.
