wasn't expecting this to be as gruesome as it was... Tip: dont read this at midnight. You won't sleep.
wasnt expecting all that death either
anyways the first half of the story was sooo boring and the second half was so fast paced and addictive.
Its 1:30am and I know I'm not sleeping tonight, thank u Stephanie Perkins
Ooof. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that romance writer Perkins created a make out/(consensual)sex heavy book that also happened to feature really gruesome slasher scenes. Unfortunately, the tension was low and the mystery wasn't interesting...or really a mystery. The characters checked diversity boxes (sort of, she did dead-name the trans character...nope) without being developed or engaging. The only non-boring parts were the slasher scenes, and that's only because they were Scream-syle detailed, yet the rest of the plot didn't get that level of attention. Have booktalked and will again, curious to see if there's an audience of teen interest for this.
I really enjoyed this one. It was your typical cheesy teenage slasher with teenage love story thrown in. The story was well paced and was an easy read. Would definitely recommend.
