I’m having such a hard time getting into Stranger with My Face by Lois Duncan. But actually I’ve never quite vibed with her work.
#she’s a stiff and expository writer a lot of the time imo#and her attitudes always feel slightly out of date#even though the subject matter really isn’t#my attitude might be influenced by the horrible ‘updated’ editions#which feature decisions such as giving all the characters cell phones#thereby forcing multiple contrived explanations for nobody being able to use said phones#failing to explain why a teen boy in the early 2010s was a polio survivor#despite having grown up in a developed country with non-wackadoo parents#changing a teenage character’s name from Ruth (classic name. totally explicable especially if parents are religious or it’s a family name)#to Kristy (already dated by the early 2010s)
