Here is the thing: this book was so scary. Like so scary that I almost had to stop reading it because I was making myself nervous. But I also couldn’t tear myself away. There were quite a few surprises and so much going on. I loved the unreliability of Lynne as the narrator and how complicated she was. But I felt like parts of it were just a little brutal to me. I’ve always loved the scream queens/final girls trope and this really pushes that to the edge in a way that is almost campy. Someone make this into a movie immediately.
