The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix
4.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad fast-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I'm not a huge fan of horror movies or horror in general and trust me, this book made me actually sick, but I had to have loved it because I kept going back to it, I could not stop thinking about it. There are a lot of stressful things going on in my life right now, and this was a great distraction for a day. 

Cons: The writing isn't the best - I feel like I know way too much about Lynette's morning routine and the plot gets really messy at times.
There's a moment near the end where the main character has clear evidence that one character is a "monster" (what the book calls serial killers) but as soon as another killer shows up, she completely forgets about it? As if forgetting the two killer trope??


Pros: I loved the interview, article, review, and book clipping throughout the book, they were really fun to read and gave more insight without needing narration to dump the information on readers in huge chunks. I also love the relationships between the characters and the ending, in my opinion, was perfect.
