I had a great time with this and would recommend to anyone who loves the Final Girl concept or Final Girls.
Interesting that a man wrote it...would love a similar story from a girl's perspective.
I'm not the best predictor but I thought the twist(s) were good.
I'd like it as a movie too!

Things I did like:
•I like the fact that I never know where the book is going to go because Sager leaves the reader questioning everyone.
•I like that there were multiple “main characters”.
Things I didn’t like:
•This one was much darker than the other ones I’ve read—it made my stomach flip flop. I’m learning I don’t like gory books at all.
•The characters aren’t that deep. This was definitely different than previous reads of Sager’s because the main character couldn’t remember what most of the book was based around—which leaves mystery, but also a disconnect for me from the main character.
•Mention of an affair, dependence on meds, heavy alcohol consumption & sexual assault.
•The way Quincy rushes into dangerous situations and how willing she is to go along with whatever, even though it can lead to serious trouble.
I also don’t understand why Sam provoked Quincy to that midnight park situation where Quincy nearly beats a man to death. Just to have something against her? I just feel like there were aspects here that were sooo careless/not thought through by the characters.
