Close Your Eyes and Count to 10 by Lisa Unger

adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced

I had high hopes for this book, but unfortunately, it didn't quite hit for me. A competition that reminded me of a combination of all the Nickelodeon game shows I loved, like Guts and Legends of the Hidden Temple. The multiple POVs were a bit chaotic, and it made it difficult to connect with any of the characters to care about their story. But it was interesting about how it pulled in unique POVs, like the Live Streams from one character or the podcast interviews from another. Vivienne Leheny was an incredible narrator and was able to bring a different vibe for each character that it was easy to tell the difference between the characters.
