The Last Girls Standing is a queer, Psychological Thriller that gives a little too much away in the blurb but is still a novel worth reading as it is well written and stands decently no its own two feet. Going into this novel, what you really need to know is that Sloane and Cherry are the "final girls" of a summer camp massacre who became romantically involved. This might seem like the place a story would end, however, this is just the beginning because all is not what it seems with the details of the massacre. I enjoyed the way this book played out. It's true that some parts were a tad bit predictable, but I think that is the way the teen thriller genre is nowadays. I did find some parts unexpected and I liked the way the overall story played out. I really enjoyed the depictions of the characters as they are extremely well developed and portray the complexity (and sometimes toxicity) of teenage relationships well. Finally I loved the tension as it played out throughout the novel.
