3.5

this book is perfect for people who enjoy YA thrillers that aren't violent or gory. From the title and the premise I expected the story to be darker. This story is just 3 kids who are in the wrong place at the wrong time and now have to try to get themselves out of the mess they didn't create. So not what I expect, but I still enjoyed it. I can always count on Karen M. McManus for a quick thriller read.

3.5 stars !! I have not finished a book for fun in ages because ... grad school but Karen McManus' latest has everything I needed to get out of a reading rut: fast pace, a heavy dose of '80s teen movie references, and a plot that is somewhat unplausible and YET (!) still compels you to go along for the ride. Great fun.
