• I liked how the book immediately gets to the point. The characters, the mystery, and everything else was introduced in the first chapter and I was already suspicious of everyone.
• The chapters were short, it’s fast-paced, and almost every chapter ends with a shocking line that makes you want to immediately read the next one.
• It’s narrated in past and present POVs but you don’t actually get the full story about what happened until the very end which got repetitive because the past POV didn’t really have much other than friendship drama.
• I was really interested at first, but halfway through, almost everything was about the main character’s snowboarding career.
• Honestly, this might as well be categorized as a sports books because of the amount of details and info dumps about snowboarding this had. To be fair, I’m not in the least bit interested in snowboarding so maybe that’s why I was really bored every time the main character talked about it, but it still took over the main story. The drama and competitiveness surrounding the characters became the main focus and I really didn’t like that. There were also really weird sexist comments and stereotypes about women in sports
• I didn’t like the main character either, she used every chance she got to make sure everyone knew she’s “not like other girls” because she likes sports…
• Also, nothing the characters did made sense, you’d think they’d try everything they could to get out and get help but instead, all they did was drink and complain
• The ending has to be one of my least favorites in any thriller I’ve read. Not only was it obvious from the start, but it was also petty and childish
• I think I would’ve liked this a lot more if there was less snowboarding details and more mystery

If you don't like cliffhangers, don't pick this up, omg, every chapter. I thought it would drive me nuts but it had a real flow and was a very fast read.
