After waiting months to be able to read this book, I have to say I am thoroughly disappointed in it. The book was too slow for my liking, but I was willing to push past that. I ignored the tropes and stereotypical characters. While the slasher theme was fun, there were too many red herrings in this book to count! I have to admit I was surprised at the ending, and then I was left crestfallen with the climax and villain’s monologue. 
Beyond all of that, after taking over a month to read (which by my standards is too long for a book this size and genre), I find out the author is a man. I am tired of men writing about women in these stereotypical slasher stories and making them out to be these shallow, judgmental, final girls who have a “dark side” to them. It’s exhausting and disgusting. While I would agree with the argument that real slasher stories are born out of crimes of passion, I find it revolting that the story ends with 

the most incel-coded character being bummed he didn’t get the girl. grow up.

jesus christ. actively looking for a plot twist and i missed it completely. very well written but very graphic. i’d rate it higher if the whole middle section hadn’t been so hard to get through bc i don’t do well with spiraling and also repeated mentions of sh

Had me going there for a minute, bud. The twist got me. 

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.
