The characters were so annoying. I hate them all equally. Why were all their personalities pretty much the same? 

The subject was so interesting but the plot of the book was so boring. I liked that the book was about final girls, but I didn’t like how it was pretty much like any other thriller. It felt so basic for such an unique idea. 

I could not follow the action scenes at all. I just kept jumped over fighting scenes because I had no idea what was going on. His descriptions were weird and hard to follow and his transitions were terrible. I hated the mixed media between chapters too. It didn’t really add to the story. 

It felt like a man wrote a book trying to relate to women and missed the mark completely. Women are scared of men. That’s the only thing he got right lol.

I really enjoyed this one and I know a lot of people don’t t like this so it’s an unpopular opinion. I just was so invested in the story and the characters and I didn’t see a lot of things happening. I thought the concept was interesting and the topics thought provoking and I liked some of the discussions in this. I really liked Lynnette as the main character and the strength and growth she went through. This also made me weirdly emotional at times, but it’s just the dark themes and the horrible world it’s hard not to. This was also pretty funny at times. I don’t know something about this just worked for me. I liked the sister aspect which I think really made me enjoy this.
