I was so excited for another book by Holly Jackson, but this one did not live up to the magic of the Good Girl's Guide series.
Thecentral mystery was interesting, but treated as a B plot. The main plot -- the teens trapped in the RV -- became much more annoying in light of the actual circumstances.
All in all, not bad, but I would have loved to borrow this from the library instead of using an Audible credit.
