 When I discovered Brittany Pressley was the narrator,
I decided to listen to this book because she’s one of my favorites! She does an excellent job narrating this story.

I enjoyed this fast paced thriller! Agent Keller is one of my favorites so I was happy to see her in this story There are a lot of characters but I didn’t have trouble keeping them straight. This wasn’t my favorite book featuring Agent Keller but I still think it’s definitely worth reading!

I first got sucked into Finlay's world with "If something happens to me" and I loved it. With his latest, Parents Weekend, the story unfortunately fell flat for me. From the start you're thrown into chaos trying to keep up with all the various parent POVs plus the POVs of their children and that didn't set the right mood for me to get engage with the story. It got easier as we went on, but because of that I didn't have the time to really bond with any of the characters that by the time we got to the end I wasn't invested in what happened to them. The story itself also felt like it dragged on, usually I find Finlay's books to be fast reads that I can't put down but this was the opposite for me.

This is a predictable, quick thriller. Would recommend to get out of a reading slump as you’ll fly through it, but it’s not going to blow your mind.

Also, Felix did not need to die at all for the kids to be saved. And if one of them really had to sacrifice themselves, did it have to be the only non-privileged one?
