I recently read Final Girls by Riley Sager and it was not for me. The characters fell flat, the story dragged, and the ending was chock full of tropes and not in a good way.
I’m glad to say this final girl read was a totally different experience. This read had multimedia, complex characters, discussion of final girls and how the media views and portrays them, and was action-packed. It reminded me a lot of Scream mixed with the Final Girls movie with equal parts found family elements, dry humor, and slasher action scenes.
