Well this was fun! I enjoyed the guessing game. No guesses of mine were right, by the way. I still didn't like how self-absorbed the main character is, but together with the other characters, this became quite interesting. The idea of going camping and sharing a bad secret with other people is such a cringe-fest! I wouldn't know what to do if it were me. I wouldn't even want to move a muscle.

Kudos to friends who indiscriminately keep our secrets! ❤️

Definitely for teens, but a quick, fun "scary" read.

i read this book in literally one night. it was slow paced to start off with, despite only being a 100 page book, but really picked up and was fast paced towards the end. it was definitely entertaining and spooky at times, very atmospheric. the explanation at the end made sense and wrapped most of the details from earlier into a great story.

The Overnight was good! Really liked that it took place on an island with spooky woods and how the ~mystery was developed.
