the only thing I didn’t like actually was the narrator. I was still guessing who the five to survive would be right until the end. another fantastic book by Holly Jackson

This was one of the best reads of this year! A very tense and thrilling story! The characters where all very interesting and at some point you are rooting for at least one of them and are against someone else! I really enjoyed how discriptive and intense the sense where and I am looking forward to read more of Holly Jacksons books!

(Spoiler about one character down below)

Oliver was really the most unlikeable character even though he was written extremely well. Every time he opened his mouth I just wanted him to shut up. He just made things so much more complicated and only cared about himself. In the end he was really scary. But he also made the threat that much more real!

Predictable with a few twists and turns, but very fun and fast-pace. I flew through this in the last 2 days.

     I really enjoyed this book! It was twisty and dark. It also kept you guessing. I saw a few things coming, like one of the twists but not the others. 
     I knew what Oliver's secret was because of Oliver. He was just evil, soulless, and totally unlikable.       The rest of the characters were fairly likable. Though Simon was iffy on the likable scale. 
     

I'm so relieved that Oliver was the one to die! He's the one who I hoped would be the only one not to survive because he was an evil jackass, and clearly a sociopath like his mother.

 
    I cried at the end but still liked the ending. It was a very emotional book with lots of grief and guilt.
