Beyond all of that, after taking over a month to read (which by my standards is too long for a book this size and genre), I find out the author is a man. I am tired of men writing about women in these stereotypical slasher stories and making them out to be these shallow, judgmental, final girls who have a “dark side” to them. It’s exhausting and disgusting. While I would agree with the argument that real slasher stories are born out of crimes of passion, I find it revolting that the story ends with

Truly despicable characters, all of them, and a unreliable narrator trope that isn't exactly what it seems. This was fun, and while I don't normally like books that end all wrapped up with a bow, this one felt complete.

One thing I liked is that I didn't figure out who was the murderer until the reveal, although some of the leaps in logic the characters took were... questionable. There were times where Quincy had a realization by looking at new information and would say something like "It was so obvious now" and then make a WILD leap in rationalization. Those don't generally bother me (especially as an escape room enthusiast) but some of these felt egregious. Overall I enjoyed the book and it had me up until 2 AM one night where I couldn't put it down, so it was definitely engaging. It has some issues but overall, super enjoyable.
