Five Survive by Holly Jackson
3.0
I was in for a treat with the MC, being an unreliable narrator; which I heavily feel is also neurodivergent. Her way of thinking is clearly different than the others, also as the fact that she forgets everything as soon as they’re out of sight are clear indicators to me.
Despite it being literally a life or death situation, and even after knowing the one being the source of it, I LOVED the friendship « I’ll stand for you no matter the cost ». Maddy for Red all their lives, Arthur for Red, Red for Maddy. (Theoretically there’s also Oliver for Maddy.. but they’re siblings, and I don’t like him 😒)
The one true secret they wanted, and everything else that happened after we found out was nothing that I would’ve had guessed.. and the ending letter did make me shed lots of tears.. wish that she would’ve had gone further and let us know the answer of the last question.
