My Opinion
Final Girls by Riley Sager: A Thriller That Falls Short of Expectations
Final Girls by Riley Sager is a psychological mystery thriller that centers on three women grappling with post-traumatic stress. While the premise is intriguing, the pacing of the book falters midway through, leaving readers wanting more momentum.
Although the plot includes the essential elements of a gripping thriller—suspense, mystery, and dark secrets—the execution falls short. The protagonist, Quincy, comes off as somewhat irritating, making it difficult to fully connect with her journey.
One major drawback is the climax, which feels forced and underwhelming. Despite the potential for a shocking finale, the resolution lacks the impact many readers might expect from a thriller of this nature.
Final Girls is a decent read for fans of the genre, but in my opinion, it’s not Riley Sager’s best work. Others might enjoy the book more, but for me, it lands at a solid 3 stars.
