It was fine. I was interested in it throughout, enjoyed the twist, but ultimately it was just okay.

What the fck did I just read and also how dare you Holly Jackson and also, I hate Oliver more than I can say. Some parts of the book including, unfortunately, the motive, did not really make sense and the ending feels really rushed and not very well developed, but. Oh my god.

2.5/5

This book is utterly annoying and excruciatingly painful to read—the story tightly sealed inside this claustrophobic setting. It’s hard to empathize with the characters and I grew loathing every single one of them as the pages turn. It was not fast-paced enough to satisfy my wanting to have an end of this suffering. This is my least favorite Holly Jackson book, and I’m extremely disappointed. Five survived, but I just wished none of them ever got out of that sickening RV alive. Oh, and fuck you, Oliver.
