♡ Slasher Movie

♡ Light Time Travel 

♡ Questionable Ending

Definitely had the Happy Death Day vibe (though I haven’t watched that yet) when it came to the time travel.  Getting to live the role of a character stuck in a slasher movie and seeing how it changed with each decision Alice made.  

It was entertaining to hear all the horror movie references and conversations about how things would play out if it were a movie.  I’d definitely watch this if it gets an adaptation… but what the hell was that ending?!

Book kept a good theme of “murder mystery,” but lacked in a more diverse character display and  overall interest. However, the plot twist at the end was very satisfying as well as surprising!

if your name is Elizabeth and you haven’t read this book yet, stop reading here. 





if you’re not Elizabeth or you have read it, continue. i think overall the book was great. i was literally and figuratively on the edge of my seat for over half of it. the mystery of what would’ve happened if Claire hadn’t been killed was incredible. everyone was a suspect and it was entirely believable. so plot of the mystery itself like 5/5. perfect. the very very end i will say was definitely cliché so 4/5. but otherwise i loved it. the dialogue also was a bit odd to me. it was a little frustrating because some of the things said are such clichés and also not something a normal human would say. but then again the book is kind of supposed to be a horror movie cliché so it makes sense. also quick warning this book makes literally THOUSANDS of references. to shows, movies, books, authors, actors, actresses, etc, etc, etc. every mainstream actors name could probably be found in this book. it was really really annoying. BUT other than the overwhelming amount of unnecessary references i really really enjoyed the book. and i’d definitely recommend to fans of horrors or mysteries. 

like Claire only killing everyone to be famous because she was a failed actress was literally the entire plot of Scream IV to a T.  🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
