This book clearly overstays its welcome.
Somehow, it manages to throw a couple of senseless plot twist at the reader while still being predictable all the way to the ending. Its entire message simply felt too shallow to be meaningful.
My biggest question is: Who is this book for? At times, it felt like reading a young adult novel but the subject matter was clearly aimed at adults.
Sometimes, I forgot that our main characters were supposed to be adults since they mostly acted like teens under pressure. This notion was paired with a bunch of rather comical villains that had as much depth as the heroines - which is, to say, none.
I understand that the book attempted to capture the spirit of slasher movies and put a spin on it. Sadly, it didn’t work out for me.
