The Unfortunates by Kim Liggett
5.0
Extremely well-written YA novel about the son of a state senator who makes a life-changing mistake in the blink of an eye. Grant is involved in a deadly accident, but since his father is a senator, it can be swept under the rug like it never happen. However, this eats away at Grant's subconscious causing him to feel more guilt and shame.
When the men in Grant's family become a certain age (high school senior), they are expected to participate in an extreme 3-day cave hike, where they take little to no food, having to forage within those days if they want to eat. Grant enters the cave expedition, which gets off to a rocky start, and soon has the feeling that he is being hunted within the depths of the cave. Along the way, he bonds with four other students who have become lost. Soon, they all become lost in the cave with the ever-present feeling that they are being followed.
The common desire to escape the cave safely, plus the dark secrets they share with each other along the way, create a deep friendship that Grant has never before experienced. Plus, the ending is AMAZING! Five stars!!
