Final Girls by Riley Sager
3.0

I thoroughly enjoyed the premise of this book. The idea of having a "final girl" is based on horror movies, but we never stop to think about what happens to them when the movie's over. Quincy is struggling to maintain a facade of functionality, unable to remember the events that unfolded at Pine Cottage years ago. I loved how Sager twisted the narrative and our trust of Quincy throughout the book, but I felt as though he leaned into it too much. I'm wavering between 3 and 4 stars, as I didn't feel as though there was enough of a build-up for the final turn of the screw. Additionally I felt as though the characterizations were lacking for most of the characters. But overall I still really enjoyed reading this book and would definitely pick it up again.
