At first I thought this book was going way too fast, and that I would be let down.
That didn’t happen.
It’s fast? Yes. But I couldn’t put it down until I finished reading it. I felt the panic of our protagonist, I kept going through her options and judgment call with her, which made this book fun. It was like I was truly in her head, and it got me thinking about how I would be in her place, for real.
She made some stupid choices out of love, and for the first time ever I didn’t judge the character or thought I would make the smartest choice, because I got her reasoning. I agreed with her.
I really recommend this book and I’ll for sure read more from this author.
Best read I had in a while.

Very suspenseful and entertaining. Can easily be read in a day or two.

It was fine. I started out very hopeful for this to be a good one because the synopsis looked interesting and it jumped straight into the action. I was hooked. Unfortunately, most of the excitement in this book is in the first 20 pages, and then it's chapter after chapter of basically the same thing. Endless descriptions of their cuts and scrapes, and running around. There was literally nothing interesting about any of the characters and the plot was extremely superficial. I was waiting for the end to redeem the whole book and the ending was literally "And then the police arrived and saved the day the end". I audibly went "what?!" because all of that concluded in about 2 pages.
Going back to the characters being uninteresting thing... Tony was arguably the worst of them all. It felt like the author didn't even try. His deal was basically 'bad' to 'maybe good' to 'back to bad' and it felt pointless. The prompt had lots of potential. A deserted highway at night is honestly my favorite eerie scenario to imagine and there could have been such a clever plot crafted around it. Instead, we got dumb teenagers, a case of mistaken identity, no motives, and 200 pages of repetitive conversations and descriptions, and that saddened me.

It was better than I thought it’d be! Really fast paced and action packed. However.. I did feel like it dragged here and there. That still didn’t stop it from being a good read!
