I enjoyed finding a horror book that explored the complex and interesting trope of the final girls. I loved how this takes place decades after their attacks because it's a path a lot of movies and books don't take too often. Seeing how the final girls all dealt with their trauma and the aftermath highlighted all their differences, although one singular event gives them a common denominator. Lynette, the protagonist, seems to be the most damaged. Facing her trauma and the guilt she feels while the book's plot unfolds makes me feel empathetic to her character. Overall, this was a great and easy read with a great twist at the end.
