The author Colleen Hoover has climbed the charts in the past two years. Her books fly off the shelves as they are advertised on ‘booktok,’ and are talked about among young adults. Although Hoover’s books are talked about frequently, people have not realized what the books are truly about.

“Colleen Hoover is an insanely disgusting author,” sophomore Hannah Bratcher said. “Colleen writes about very mature topics, yet claims her content is okay for people under the age of 18.”

Most of her books have inappropriate content concerning sexual tendencies, crime and other adult topics. Her books state that they are not for those under the age of 14 due to mature themes. Although, most of her books fit a certain genre that is only meant for people above 18. Some of her novels include the topic of domestic or sexual violence that is portrayed as romance which could ruin a child’s perception of a relationship.

“I suggest trying Lucy Score instead,” junior Bella Faulkner said. “Lucy Score is a better author and Colleen Hoover will just eventually traumatize you.”

Princess Peach Showtime is a game for the Nintendo Switch releasing on March 22. In this game, Peach gets invited to a play at the Sparkle Theatre but when she gets there, the play gets taken over by the Wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch. The player will play as Peach as she and her new friend Stella, the theater’s guardian, work to save the show.

“It looks really good and interesting, I’m excited to see how each of Peach’s outfits will impact gameplay and the story,” senior Sophia McClure said.

In this game, the player will use Stella’s ribbon to help save the day and take the show back. Sometimes, the ribbon won’t be able to help through obstacles but that’s where Peach’s different transformations come in. At certain points in the game, Peach will change her outfit and with each transformation she will be able to use new abilities that will help her take back the show from the Sour Bunch.

After multiple years of waiting, the sequel to Dune flew into theaters on March 1. The original Dune was a smash hit in late 2021, however, a lot of the different plot lines were scattered which made it hard to focus.

“A lot of different storylines that seemed like they were amounting to something, then kind of fell,” junior Caleb Thompson said.

These new movies have been struggling to accommodate overly elaborate plots. They have been making up for it with a star studded cast to propel themselves to success off the back of fanatic fans. Dune 2 stars Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, the lead in the Dune series.

“Personally, I don’t think he’s very cute, but I’ve heard people think that he’s very cute,” freshman Jasmine Dong said.

Dune 2 managed to replicate a lot of the incredible cinematography and special effects as the original film. Though it still is suffering the fate of sequels and likely will not be remembered as fondly as the first Dune.

“I thought it was a great sequel to the first Dune movie and I also think it’s a great gateway to the last movie of the trilogy,” senior Parker Smith said.
