Have you heard of the case of the two girls who lured their friend to the woods and tried to stab her to death for Slender Man? Well this book’s plot is based on that case! Except in Mister Tender’s Girl, we are following Alice’s story after the horrific stabbing that she suffered from the hands of her two friends in order to please Mister Tender. 

This book started off SO fast for me, but somewhere in the middle, I felt that I was starting to get in a reading slump and I had to make myself pick it up and read. Once I got past a certain part, I was back in action and not wanting to put it down. Also, it had short chapters, so that helped! 

Small detail here, but there’s an Anne Boleyn reference, that the history lover in me loved. 

With all that being said, when it came to the big climax that I was most looking forward to, I felt that it fell short. I was like “Really? That’s it?” I just expected there to be something more.
