3.5 stars

This was definitely my least favorite Grady Hendrix book I've read so far, but it was still a lot of fun. I loved the idea of the book and I was thrown off by some of the red herrings, but I could never quite connect to the main character enough to feel fully invested in the story, and I can't explain why (it's especially odd because I usually ADORE the main characters in Grady's books!).

Something was missing in Lynn's character and I wish I could put my finger on what it was, because even though I loved the idea of this final girl who's become so obsessed with her own potential demise that she forgets how to truly live, I never could connect to her as a character enough to particularly empathize with her until the last few chapters. I will say that she grew a lot as a character in the final quarter of the book and I gradually began to love her a little, but it wasn't like that all-encompassing adoration for Grady's protagonists that I have had from the first chapter of his other books.
