The Last Girls Standing by Jennifer Dugan
3.0
Thanks to Penguin Random House and NetGalley for access to this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
I have mixed feelings about this novel. On one hand, it was a super quick read that I finished in one day no problem. I was drawn in by the promise of finding out what happened to the night our final girls survived and who was or wasn't involved. However, I found the writing to be rather repetitive, like the author really wanted to hammer home every. single. clue. I also wasn't thrilled with the pacing at the end of the novel — I felt like the resolution was quite rushed, which didn't leave me feeling very satisfied. But if you love YA psychological thrillers and aren't turned off by the CWs, this might be for you.
