jilljemmett's review against another edition
5.0
Present day: Eva never fit in with her family or friends at her new boarding school, Hardwick Preparatory Academy. When she’s invited to join the exclusive group the Fives, she’s thrilled to join in their parties and events. However, Eva soon learns that the Fives are behind one of the darkest scandals in the school’s history.
1962: Connie volunteered to participate in the test of Hardwick’s nuclear fallout shelter so she can spend time with Craig Allenby, the popular boy in school. However, the test becomes more dangerous than they expected as their challenges become harder. Even though six kids went into the shelter, only five come out.
This was a thrilling dual point of view story! I liked the way the two perspectives were intertwined with each other. The story was fast paced. I listened to the audiobook and I really enjoyed it. The only criticism I have is the two narrators spoke at different speeds, so when I listened to it at a faster speed, one of them spoke much faster than the other.
Don’t Breathe a Word is a great story!
Content warnings: death, hazing, parental abandonment
