A fun destination horror romp, like a beach read for slasher fans. I enjoyed the dark humour and changing POVs of several women who are part of a reality dating show à la The Bachelor. It was short, fast-paced and satisfying. Listening to it as a full cast audio book was especially entertaining, at times it felt like I was almost watching the reality show itself devolving into weird chaos. It scratched that same silly reality tv itch with a big helping of WTF for good measure. I only wished the author explored more of "her," but overall, a delightful horror read!

This was a super fun read. The ending was very weird, but I'm into it. I never quite knew where it was going until the end. Fun, easy read!

A dream world where being a lesbian is in itself a survival tactic and heteronormativity will get you mauled by a she-beast. Funnily gruesome, darkly humorous.

Slow wind up about influencers on a dating show with a thrilling end. Only complaint is felt like all the action was packed in the ending/final pages of the book. Otherwise an interesting read.

This was an interesting read, because it felt like I was reading a horror film (in a cool way). I wish it was a little longer to explain a few more things, but I believe it's so we can leave it up to our imagination about what actually happened and why.

This was a gripping read. I don’t read a lot of horror or gore but I was thoroughly glued to the page. The characters are all pretty morally grey and unlikeable, and I enjoyed the exploration of the reality TV genre.

Just such a fun read. I loved Renee as a character,

she made such a great final girl for this story,

and the romance between Maggie and Kathy that's explored through letters in the last third of the book genuinely almost brought me to tears. A win for the lesbians.
