Truly despicable characters, all of them, and a unreliable narrator trope that isn't exactly what it seems. This was fun, and while I don't normally like books that end all wrapped up with a bow, this one felt complete.

- Started off pretty strong and was intrigued with the pine cottage chapters.
- 38% in and sin wondering where this is all going to go. It feels like Sam has an agenda, but to what? Money for exposing her?
- 50% in and am interested that one of the other final girls was murdered
- Dropped this book for a little bit as my loan had lapsed. Back into it and wondering where it’s going to go from here.
- Quincy being the murderer would be a twist I could see this author going with.
- Alright alright I wasn’t expecting that! Coop being the murderer and staying close to Quincey wasn’t in my theories.
- Also didn’t see Tina not actually being Sam.

Some may find the characters lacking depth. My friend stated, “Quincy is the least anxious anxious person to ever have a Xanax prescription” which rings true as a reader with understanding of mental health. I personally found the representation of Quincy’s PTSD to be somewhat lacking, but good for the layman reader.
The pacing lagged for me in the beginning, my curiosity for the outcome only just sustaining my momentum.
Upon learning the twist, I found myself trying to find the hints/foreshadowing in retrospect and couldn’t rightly identify anything off the top of my head. I felt as though there was a lost opportunity regarding a key detail (
Despite these technical criticisms, this was one of the first stories I got excited about in a while and I will be reading more of Sager’s work going forward.
