 This book has been on my tbr list for years now. And now that the adaptation has been released I thought this was the perfect time to read this book. And ..... Wow. The hype is real, my friends. This one really is a damn good book. It's fast-paced, dark and has some amazing twists which I didn't see coming.

I just have a few complaints :-

1) Where the hell did Darby get an iPhone whose battery🔋 lasts for soooooo loooong. I want that iPhone. ASAP.

2) A person with Addison's would have collapsed a long time ago under such conditions. Trust me I am a 👨‍⚕️

Other than that, this one is a really good book. TWs:- kidnapping, murder, animal abuse (off page), self harm. 

4 (High on caffeine) stars. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’ve had this book on my ereader for a long time and I vowed to finally read it before watching the film adaptation recently released on Hulu. While I couldn’t put the book down (and will definitely watch the movie), I was a bit disappointed with this thriller. 

Darby is racing from her college to see her dying mother in a blizzard when she is stranded at a remote rest stop in Colorado. Thinking she’s in for a long night while the roads are closed, she makes small talk with the four strangers she’s stuck with. Darby soon stumbles on the unthinkable: a child locked in a dog crate in one of her fellow traveler’s cars. She doesn’t know who’s car it is or who to trust and she has no cell service. Darby is suddenly trapped in a nightmarish cat and mouse game, fighting for an innocent child’s life. 

The short chapters, cinematic writing, and alternating POVS made this impossible to put down. But there were so many plot points that happened just to raise the stakes that it felt forced to me (DM me if you want to talk details!) I also wanted to know more backstory and details about our villain. All that said, if you want a thriller you can’t put down, you’ll love this book.
