The writing is fantastic in a really modest way. Descriptions never drew attention to themselves but I always knew exactly what was going on with the perfect amount of metaphor.
The pacing was incredible, though I think I was expecting a bit more slasher thriller vibe than strictly secrets and psychological thriller vibe which is maybe one of the only major negative critiques.
It was a fantastic read and a great way to spend a Saturday!

Jackson does such an incredible job at creating a tense atmosphere within her pages that makes it impossible to stop reading. The writing in this book was so captivating and made me never want to put it down. Although the first 1/3 of the novel is a little bit slow, the rest of the novel has you gripping the edges, eagerly turning the pages to find out just what the heck is going on inside of this RV.
Red was such an interesting protagonist, and I honestly did not know how to feel about her until the story went on. As the reader learns more about her past, everything she does and the way she thinks makes perfect sense. I was truly sympathetic towards her once I found out everything that she went through with her Mom.
There is one character in this book that I absolutely LOATHED. Like I do not think that I have hated a character as much as I hate
I loved the way that all of the twists were revealed in this book. I did not see most of them coming, and they were revealed in a very skillful and engaging manner. By the time I reached the climax of the plot, I was reading until 1am to get all of the answers I needed.
Overall, I really had such a fun time reading this novel and would definitely recommend it for any Holly Jackson fans out there. It is 100% worth the read and will not disappoint in terms of suspense, twists, and phenomenal writing. I rate this book 4/5 stars! 🌟
