A review by thefinalgirl
The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix
2.0
(2.5 stars)
This will, unfortunately, be my final Grady Hendrix book. I wanted to love this book… but oh my god were the characters insufferable. My favorite parts of this book were the little asides at the end of every chapter where you learn more about the movie franchises and the other final girls’ backstories.
I hate to compare this to Riley Sager’s Final Girls, but I kinda have to because these are the only popular, two books like this out there right now. I hate the way Sager writes women because it honestly sucks, but other than that, the book was good. There wasn’t a huge cast of characters and most of them were tolerable.
Hendrix knows his stuff and I applaud him for it, but that’s not enough. He writes annoying characters and it takes me metaphorical years to get through his books because of it. All of them suck.. not a single character did I like (and that’s a sentence that stands true over the 3 books of his I have read).
Sorry Hendrix! I wanted to love your books so bad!
