"That's for the six of you to figure out. And remember one thing:
You can't see me but I can see you. If you try to run, I will shoot."

Y'know this did go crazy. Maybe a lil too crazy at the end.
This book does all happen in one location, which can be difficult to pull off, but I think it did it well.

I still don't get why Red acts the way she does. Several times she's randomly like "No one LOVES ME" like girl I get it but lets take a moment.

Oliver was so overbearing tho he nearly caught these hands.

If the book went a bit deeper with the connections between the characters I defo woulda liked it even more.

It was so unbearably slow  😒.  I almost gave up becase it seemed as if nothing was progressing a quarter into it. After

it's revealed that the signal is coming from someone inside the RV, it speeds up tho.

Red was an annoying character, and so was Maddy. However, i did come to appreciate their quirks once conflict arose. Maddy is still not redeemed from

siding with her brother, who obviously had problems, over Red.

Compared to AGGGTM tho, the book is lacking. 🫡 a nice read by the end but not re-readble ❤️‍🩹
