You’d think Jean slept through this fun story from comments made by others about this book, but each nap is placed where it makes sense - jet leg from the flight, after a busy day ending at a club with two young men (Dave and Johnny) who are teaching them to scuba dive, etc. That connection may be a supernatural one, as Jean soon discovers. This tragic event shakes up Jean, who feels a connection to Mike, even though they only spent a few minutes together on the plane.

This tragedy happens immediately and is not a spoiler. On the long flight over, Jean meets Mike, a sweet kid who promptly dies aboard the plane right in front of her. This one starts out fun, with a trip to Hawaii for of-age Jean, who is joining her friend Mandy, and a beautiful girl named Michele that both girls know, but who has invited herself along. Released in 1991, Bury Me Deep is a very fun read, and would make a great time at the beach for anyone looking to combine teenage thrills with the nostalgia of late teens whose growing pains involved a few beers, and whether to have sex and when, rather than trying to decide what pronoun they’d like others to use when addressing them, or being so PC offended by statues of revered figures in history, they become drama queens until they’re torn down, proving they never truly understood what Orwell’s 1984 was about. Read today by an adult, you can add nostalgia to the mix. That’s no slam on Stine, I’m simply making a distinction between his brand, which can also be enjoyable, and Pike’s. Christopher Pike excelled in entertaining thrillers for older young adults who were a bit more worldly than those portrayed by paramours like the popular R.
