It was so unbearably slow  😒.  I almost gave up becase it seemed as if nothing was progressing a quarter into it. After

it's revealed that the signal is coming from someone inside the RV, it speeds up tho.

Red was an annoying character, and so was Maddy. However, i did come to appreciate their quirks once conflict arose. Maddy is still not redeemed from

siding with her brother, who obviously had problems, over Red.

Compared to AGGGTM tho, the book is lacking. 🫡 a nice read by the end but not re-readble ❤️‍🩹
