This took a while to get going, for me. I think it felt a bit too much of a stretch at times. The thing is, the UK is so tight on gun control, access to chemicals and bomb paraphernalia, kids blabbing… I struggled to believe that it could actually come off in the way that it did. Add in that the setting for me was very familiar, having grown up in Somerset and attending a rural school, there was too much belief needing to be suspended. I also don’t think for a moment that most teens would be able to hold it together like these did, and why the heck weren’t their phones all fully charged overnight? At 9am my kids are on 90% or higher still! Far more likely they wouldn’t have reception out in the woods and I do think a power cut in the storm would have been more realistic tbh.
That said, I did enjoy it, and as the pace picked up I wanted to know what would happen. I’ve read worse.
