Some may find the characters lacking depth. My friend stated, “Quincy is the least anxious anxious person to ever have a Xanax prescription” which rings true as a reader with understanding of mental health. I personally found the representation of Quincy’s PTSD to be somewhat lacking, but good for the layman reader.
The pacing lagged for me in the beginning, my curiosity for the outcome only just sustaining my momentum.
Upon learning the twist, I found myself trying to find the hints/foreshadowing in retrospect and couldn’t rightly identify anything off the top of my head. I felt as though there was a lost opportunity regarding a key detail (
Despite these technical criticisms, this was one of the first stories I got excited about in a while and I will be reading more of Sager’s work going forward.

The writing is good and I liked the slow unfolding of the events of the night Quincy became a Final Girl.
