I really enjoyed this one and I know a lot of people don’t t like this so it’s an unpopular opinion. I just was so invested in the story and the characters and I didn’t see a lot of things happening. I thought the concept was interesting and the topics thought provoking and I liked some of the discussions in this. I really liked Lynnette as the main character and the strength and growth she went through. This also made me weirdly emotional at times, but it’s just the dark themes and the horrible world it’s hard not to. This was also pretty funny at times. I don’t know something about this just worked for me. I liked the sister aspect which I think really made me enjoy this.

Horror is not my genre! Also, the writing in this felt clunky, none of the characters were that likeable and I had trouble remembering who all the girls were.

This book was SUCH an amazing introduction into Grady Hendrix's books for me. Wow. I'm very impressed with how he wrote women and from their perspective - super well done. Loved the homage he paid to classic horror films and stories. Things like how the chapters were named??? Genius touches that showed that he truly holds this genre dear. So so good!!
