"Anyone can break your heart—Jeff Zentner can also make you laugh out loud!" —RAINBOW ROWELL, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Carry On and Eleanor & Park

From the award winning author of The Serpent King comes a contemporary novel about two best friends who must make tough decisions about their futures—and the TV show they host—in their senior year of high school. And don't miss the author's highly anticipated new book, In the Wild Light!
Every Friday night, best friends Delia and Josie become Rayne Ravenscroft and Delilah Darkwood, hosts of the campy creature feature show Midnite Matinee on the local cable station TV Six.
But with the end of senior year quickly approaching, the girls face tough decisions about their futures. Josie has been dreading graduation, as she tries to decide whether to leave for a big university and chase her dream career in mainstream TV. And Lawson, one of the show's guest performers, a talented MMA fighter with weaknesses for pancakes, fantasy novels, and Josie, is making her tough decision even harder.
Scary movies are the last connection Delia has to her dad, who abandoned the family years ago. If Midnite Matinee becomes a hit, maybe he'll see it and want to be a part of her life again. And maybe Josie will stay with the show instead of leaving her behind, too.
As the tug-of-war between growing up and growing apart tests the bonds of their friendship, Josie and Delia start to realize that an uncertain future can be both monstrous...and momentous.
"I laughed, cried, and fell over-the-moon in love with Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee." —JENNIFER NIVEN, New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places and Holding Up the Universe

      Narrators Sophie Amoss and Phoebe Strole alternate narrating this story about two best friends who are facing the uncertainties of life after high school. For two years Josie (performed by Amoss) and Delia (by Strole) have hosted a semi-successful local-access TV show that airs B-grade horror flicks. As graduation approaches, the girls must weigh the future of the show against their friendship, families, and opportunities. Amoss and Strole meet the challenges of this dual-narrator audiobook. Their tempo, pronunciations, and interpretation of the girls' personalities are well matched and consistent. They are equally skilled at delivering the humor and quick dialogue and at believably portraying the girls' frustrations and heartbreak as they deal with the consequences of their choices and take their first steps to adulthood.
