The Last Girl
Book Review
I found the plot twists interesting and unexpected. I really didn’t know what was coming next!
I liked the opening chapter of the book because it drew me in right in the first few pages. I found the book mysterious and, in some parts confusing, but this made it a page turner!
The end really took my breath away, I found the plot twists interesting and unexpected. I really didn’t know what was coming next.
I found the main character interesting and relatable. I thought the chapters were just the right size and almost always ended on a cliff hanger (so frustrating at times!)
The book follows normal teenage struggles like not fitting in and finding it difficult to make friends, and finding refuge in something strange in this case horror movies. Although some characters were stereotypical, they each had character development which broke down the usual characteristics and changed them into people with complex emotions. This made the book interesting to read and unexpected.
I recommend this book to teenagers and young adults.
