A classic teen horror novel, familiar troupes are elevated by themes of regret, gossip, presumptions, collective loss, and self-acceptance in spite of regret. Not to mention that it focuses on the interior lives of the victims instead of the villain.

The nature of the gore involves body mutilation, and there is graphic violence with knives. Narcissism in children and adults is explored throughout the text.

I  am a fucking sucker for a slasher and this one was excellent, super fun with interesting characters. The addition of timeline and POV changes spiced things up. I will admit that I did spend a lot of time comparing it to what I could remember from the movie. Overall got through it without the differences bothering me or feeling "spoilered" by having seen the movie first.
