Holidays inspire a lot of different reactions in people. For instance,Clover hates the sappiness of Valentine's Day, while Bleu loves Halloween.Clover also hates St. Patrick's Day and how people have turned it into an orgyof green beer and leprechauns, but both girls like April Fool's Day and how itinspires Victor to dig out his goth gear from the days of yore. The third volume in the popular Blue Monday series is a collection ofshort stories about the gang's travails over the various seasonal functions.Love blooms, ghost stories abound, and there just may be more than a fewparty-induced hallucinations. Even on their In-between Days, ChynnaClugston-Major's cast of cut-ups can't avoid getting into hilarioustrouble.
"Inbetween Days" is a strong filler book for those of us eagerly awaiting the next installment of Blue Monday. Picking up loose bits of story from the previous two collections ("The Kids Are Alright" and "Absolute Beginners"), "Inbetween Days" fills in Chynna's narratives with the usual foul language, gratuitous violence, pop music references, and a suprising amount of genuine feeling. This is probably the most sensitive of her own work so far - there's a sequence in here (not giving it away!) that rivals the "how to love" instruction narrative in "Hopeless Savages: Ground Zero." Pick it up while you're anxiously chewing away at your socks for the next collection - this anthology of filler material is wonderful.
