3 out of 5 stars. The Last Girls Standing by Jennifer Dugan seemed like my kind of young adult novel based on the cover and the plot. And for most of the novel it was, I got sucked into the main story and enjoy following the unreliable narrator as she tried to regain her memories. The setting was great as well. However, I did feel that the middle dragged a bit, I would have liked more flashbacks and less of the main relationship. I loved Dugan's writing style and that will keep me picking up from young adult thrillers from her in the future but this one was just okay for me. I was disappointed by the ending, it did not feel complete to me or fleshed out and I was left wanting a lot more from it. Despite that, I still enjoyed the novel and flew through the entire thing in a day. I still recommend checking it out. Thank you, bookishfirst and publisher for the early copy!
