such a fun and original premise! I’ve been really into reading thrillers/horror lately, and this was a skip the line loan at the library so i knew it was at least popular. It took me an EMBARRASSINGLY long time to see how the main characters are allusions to popular horror movies. I think there was some uncertainty for me whether the world of the novel was meant to be real or fantastical, which sort of tripped me up, because while reading I’d be thinking to myself that it’s pretty unrealistic. once I understood that the story exists in this semi-fantasy world of horror movies, I was able to suspend that disbelief and enjoy it a lot more. The characterization here is clever and believable and the novel truly gripped me. now I wanna watch all the horror movies referenced in the book!
