My first and probably last splatterpunk. I might've liked it more when I was younger, before my preferences changed to prefer psychological horror above all else. I didn't mind the gore and even some of the grosser scenes.
The characters and writing as a whole was "meh".

I think it would be better as a movie, tbh. Usually I prefer the source material, but the book just didn't grab me like I hoped

I had a good idea of what the plot twist was going to be early on, but wasn't a fan of the execution at all. I almost put the book down soon after Doug was introduced. The guy was bad news from the start.
And while it's technically not a YA book (it's definitely too mature for that), it reminds me why I typically avoid young protagonists. Stand up, Liv! Stand up!
