This story starts off fairly interesting but progressively gets worse and worse, to the point where I really had to push myself to actually read to the end.
The characters are terribly written, especially the women who appear to have been thrown together by someone who has never actually talked to a woman before. They seem to have 3 main functions within this story:
1. To be jealous of other for being pretty (because all women just exist to hate each other, right?)
2. To provide lots of sexually-charged situations (“She breasted boobily to the stairs and titted downwards")
and 3. To constantly lust after the main character despite him lacking in many redeeming qualities (I mean, what woman wouldn't be fantasizing about giving a blowjob to her slacker neighbor during the end of the world?)
The male characters are almost as badly written, resulting in a cast that is extremely one-dimensional and fitting into various stereotypes (guy that says "bro" a lot, guy that has the personality of a can of Coors Light).
Came for a thriller, left with a bad teenage fan-fic B movie.
