Will the MID ending make me forget how TERRIBLE the first 250 pages were? no
Female characters written by male writers have just hit a new level of BAD (which i never thought was possible). It feels like how a 12 year old girl would write herself in a wattpad book. In fact, l've read (multiple) wattpad stories with more entertaining and less corny writing styles. The main character felt so flat, she was literally two-dimensional. And don't even get me started on the supporting characters who were all incredibly annoying and stupid as fuck. The entire plot relies on the idiocy of its characters which feels lazy and forced. Not to mention that the plot twist was unsatisfactory and just made me sigh in disappointed defeat.
Also why is the only latino character a drug-addicted homeless person?
I'm giving it 2 stars and not 1 because somehow i managed to read the last 124 pages in a day after struggling to get through it for a month and a half, AND because i saw a glimpse of potential at the 250 page mark and in some flashback scenes.
I'm just happy it's over now.

Truly impossible to suspend belief when reading this book. So many stupid choices, you really have to not use your brain at all while reading this to enjoy it.
This book truly felt like it was written by a man, TODD. The way sex was talked about, the whole dumbassery in the park, like what?? I dont even have words to describe how stupid that whole thing was.
I will say, i did push through and finish it because i wanted to know what the twists were, and the twists did infact twist, so i enjoyed that part, even if it all just had me yelling "WHAT?!" afterwards.
I usually enjoy riley sager books so this one so far is a disappointing blip.

meh it was fine. didn’t guess the plot twist but i feel like it sjould have been obvious
Good, not great—and I loved Survive The Night, but I’m not sure if it’s the 90s serial killer trope that kind of lost me here and there.
Again, totally entertaining, but was not nearly as shocking as the folks who’ve been recommending this one kept saying. I mean, did HE actually have a motive? The ‘strong final girl’ thing seems like it doesn’t hold a ton of water.

The more I got through this book, the less I wanted to read it. What starts off as a interesting premise of a final girl trying to project this picture perfect life when it’s blown up by the arrival of another final girl, slowly just turns into a run-of-the-mill, lackluster thriller where our main character grows to confront her trauma, but we don’t get to see her outside of that.
That - and the whole story starts rushing to a very weak and thrown together ending halfway throughout the book. Like it truly starts picking up steam for NO REASON, and then that steam just runs out by the final few chapters.
Pretty much everyone was done dirty by their lack of development in this book and while I was starting to try to get into Riley Sager’s work, I just don’t think I am a fan.
