I don't read thrillers or horror normally, but I heard good things about this book and author, as well as seeing it on a sapphic book rec list.
The relationship is very minor, very shared trauma bonding lol.
I liked all the characters despite how many there are. I have watched a lot of competition shows in my life, so it did have that vibe of a large group, and then seeing snapshot videos of each competitor's background so you sympathize with them. Personally I didn't have any trouble keeping track of everyone.
This book gave me serious anxiety haha. I feel like it delivered on that thriller aspect. I never felt like it was slow or that I could put it down. I really sped through this book because it was unputdownable.
The only issue I have is the ending because it felt wildly abrupt.

None of the characters had any chemistry with eachother.
The ending sucked.

It kept changing which character we were following so it took a while to get used to it.
I enjoyed it. I am not gonna lie was it consistent? no. But i kept turning the page to see what would happen next i also loved the old abandoned amusement park.
